Cailleacha Chúigid Uladh (Hags of Ulster) was collected by George Petrie from the playing of Galway piper Patrick Coneely in 1839, who told Petrie the tune had Connaught origins. Lough Key is a composition of the late fiddle player Larry Redican. Last Night’s Fun was collected by Canon James Goodman (1860s) and appears in Tunes of the Munster Pipers, vol. 2. Within Roche’s (1927) collection, it appears as “Paddy Be Aisy.”

Fiddle player Caitlin Finley played for us back in the day at the Coatesville Traditional Irish Music Series. It took a while to find out she’d made a CD with flute & piano (also piccolo, pipes & melodeon) accompaniment but it was worth the wait! Check it out. Will Woodson & Chris Stevens are standouts, too. It’s nice to find a contemporary Irish CD I like start to finish. Frank Dalton

Masterful box playing. Has some very appealing, unusual quality to it - hard to put into words... might be the Sliabh Luachra style peeping through. musicstillspeaks
