Edmund Keating Hyland

Edmund Keating Hyland (Irish: Éamonn Céitinn Ó Haoláin; 1780 – 1845) was an Irish uilleann piper of the early 19th century.

At 20, he studied music theory under John Andrew Stevenson in Dublin.

[3] He composed the famous jig entitled "The Fox Chase" (based on an earlier eight-bar work, Maidrin Ruadh),[4] and performed it before King George IV in 1821.

[5][6][7] The king awarded him new pipes worth fifty guineas.

[9] A statue in bronze of Keating Hyland stands in Cahir's main square, sculpted by Mona Croome Carroll and paid for by Lady Margaret Butler-Charteris.
