about

Joe Boske, a Germany artist who has lived in Ireland for more than 40 years composed the first jig. It featured on his own album of original compositions called Amara. I learnt it from the guitarist Jon Hicks who I got to know in Cork.
Séamus Tansey recorded the second jig on his hallmark album The King of the Concert Flute. He attributes it to the fantastic whistle player from Drumacoo in Sligo Jim Donahue.
Concluding the set a tune I picked up from my good friend Séan Gilrane and according to him it is a tune Séamus Ennis collected from the playing of the great Donegal fiddle master Johnny Doherty.
