Beathaisnéis
cuir in eagarRugadh an Coinniallánach i gCluain na Maithín, Co. Shligigh timpeall na bliana 1625.[1] Ba chláirseoirí é féin agus a dheartháir Liam Ó Coinnialláin (Béarla: William Connellan).
Deirtear gur chum Tomás idir 700 agus 800 fonn, cé nár mhair ach dornán beag díobh sin. Is iad na foinn is cáiliúla dá chuid atá againn inniu ná “Molly St. George”, “Fáinne Geal an Lae”, ar a dtugtar freisin "An Réalt Órga", [2] "Love in Secret", agus "Planxty Davis". Tá cosúlachtaí idir “Fáinne Geal an Lae” agus an tséis a chastar le dán an fhile Éireannaigh Patrick Kavanagh On Raglan Road.[3]
Dar le Airt Uí Néill / Arthur O'Neill (1734-1818);
"Thomas Conlan (Coinnialláin) the great harper was born before my time. I heard he played very well. He made himself conspicuous in Scotland by means of the tune Lochaber, which he plastered on the Scots as one of his own compositions whereas it is well known it was composed by Miles O'Reilly of Killinkere, in the county Cavan under the name of 'Limerick's Lamentation (Marbhnaí Luimnigh).' However Conlan arrived to city honours in Edinburgh, chiefly by means of that tune among others. I heard they made him a bailie or burgomaster in Edinburgh where he died." (p. 13)
