ok here it is as far as i know. Firstly the Sí are the little people, of the tuatha de Danann who were driven underground at a particular period in irish History by invaders. . The Lios Sí are the mounds where they live and you could find yourself there sometime if they invite you in. The Banshee is a keening woman. in the irish context she is associated with certain families and she is an individual who tells of a death about to happen in that family. In the Irish traditional wakes originally there were keening women who went to the wakes and provided keening for a dead person. They were professional keening women and the catholic church banned them as they wanted to control everything. So that happened after the death and not before hand in the case of the Beanshee. So the Banshee warned a family to which she was in some way connected of of a death. She was an individual being and diffferent from the Sí or the fairies of which there are many

Well, according to the internet: Bean Sidhe; Bean Na Shi; Banshee and Bean Nighe all pretty much the same creature—though there are some differences in the Tales. I'm interested in knowing if this is an old song, or one written in modern times? It is a Remarkably Compact Fairy Tale set to a wonderful tune... And it sure could use a wee bit more exposition, or better yet, a sequel... What DID she Promise him? Did he ever find her? Then What happaned? .....RVM45

It's quite funny. As far as I know the Banshee is nothing different but she is the one that starts to show up if someone dies.
