William Connellan

William Connellan () was an Irish harper. He was born in Cloonamahon, County Sligo.
Connellan was a harper, who may or may not have composed the tune "Caoineach Luimnigh" (the lament for Limerick). He was well known in Scotland, where he travelled extensively. There his version of "Luimnigh" became "Lochabar No More." He is also credited with "Love's A Tormenting Pain", and probably "Killiecrankie". His brother was the composer Thomas Connellan.
Arthur O'Neill (1734-1818) refers to William in his memoirs:
