Delia Murphy (16 February 1902 11 February 1971) was a singer and collector of Irish ballads. Her notable voice gave her the nickname the "Queen of Connemara". She was born in Ardroe, Claremorris, County Mayo, Ireland. Her father purchased the large, Mount Jennings Estate in Hollymount, County Mayo. Her family was regarded as being wealthy. Her father, Jack Murphy, from Hollymount, made his fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush. While in America, he married Anna Fanning from Roscrea, County Tipperary. They returned to Ireland in 1901. Her father encouraged Delia's interest in singing ballads from a young age. He also allowed Irish travellers to camp on the estate. According to her own account, the young Delia learnt her first ballads at their campfires.
