He was born on 18 September 1863 in Mount Bolton, Portlaw, to an Irish-speaking family. [1] He was educated for the priesthood in St. John's College, Waterford and in St. Patrick's College, Maynooth. [2] He was ordained a priest at All Hallows College, Dublin, in 1892, [3] and worked in Salford in Manchester. He pursued further studies in Germany at the universities of Greifswald and Freiburg, where he was awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy.

In 1898, he was appointed to the post of Chair of Irish of Celtic Studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.; the Chair had been funded by the Ancient Order of Hibernians. [4] He held that post for a short time before moving to Berkeley University in California. He became President of the Gaelic League of America. Henebry suffered from tuberculosis for his entire adult life, [5] and partially because of this he returned to Ireland in 1903 and taught for a time in St. John's College. Following the establishment of the new National University of Ireland in 1908, he was appointed the first professor of Irish in University College Cork. [6]

He helped set up the Irish Language College in the Ring Gaeltacht in 1909. He made many recordings on wax cylinders of Irish music.

He died near Portlaw on 17 March 1916, and was buried at Carrickbeg, County Waterford.

Sean-nós singing is unaccompanied, traditional Irish vocal music usually performed in the Irish language. Sean-nós singing usually involves very long melodic phrases with highly ornamented and melismatic melodic lines, differing greatly from traditional folk singing elsewhere in Ireland, although there is significant regional variation within Ireland. Sean-nós songs cover a range of genres, from love song to lament to lullaby, traditionally with a strong focus on conveying the relevant emotion of the given song. The term sean-nós, which simply means "in the old way", is a vague term that can also refer to various other traditional activities, musical and non-musical.
