about

The first jig is generally known today as Strike the Gay Harp. The name I have chosen here is from the O’Neill Collection 1850 Tunes.

The second jig was very popular with céilí bands in the 1960s. If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was recorded by the Keane brothers, James on accordion with Seán on fiddle.

Musicians in alphabetical order: Karl Connolly (piano), Carmel Doohan (fiddle), Aisling Mulhern (fiddle), Deirdre Mulhern (fiddle), Michéal O’Rourke (fiddle).

Recorded Feb 1999.
