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.
supported by 34 fans who also own “The Caladh thaidhg Regatta, Donoghue's, Doherty's (Jigs)”
Hello Aidan, I purchased your new album in April and have enjoyed playing the download. When the it arrived in the post there was no physical CD inside the case. I have been promised a replacement but have still not received anything. I only need the CD - I have the case. Obviously I can create a CD from the download, but that’s not the point. Hope you can help.
Best wishes, Martin D’Arcy
