The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) a digitised copy of a programme for the Feis na Mumham 1910 held in Cork, but my browser is having trouble reading the individual pages for any length of time so I can't confirm Dr Henebry's involvement nor the exact location. Another page in the ITMA catalogue has a brief biography of Dr Richard Henebry/ Risteard de Hindeberg 1863-1916, and there is an article by Ciaran Carson in the online Journal of Music about Dr Henebry The Musical Priest. He sounds like a very interesting character who knew Francis O'Neill, Roger Casement and Padraig Pearse well. He made some cylinder recordings of traditional music and song in Waterford. There is more about him in the Companion to Irish Traditional Music. Matthew
