Harper Dáithi Ó Murchadha (David Murphy) composed this march for his patron Theobald Bourke (Lord Mayo, 1681-1741) of Castlebar, County Mayo.

b) Maids of Mount Cisco (Gearrchaile Shliabh Cisco):
Mount Cisco is a town in Westchester County, north of New York City. This reel is a very popular session tune. Frank learned it from Uilleann Piper Walter Lelle.

2. The Cobbler (Song & Jigs)

As a young lad Saoirse remembers watching Tommy Makem doing this on RTÉ television. The instrumentals included are ‘The Cobbler’ (Jig) and ‘I buried my wife and danced on top of her’.

3. Ordinary Man (Song)

This song written by english musician Peter Hames was made popular by the Irish bard Christy Moore. It relates the story of one of the greatest problems of our time: unemployment. A strong and passionate songwriter ballad filled with despair and anger.

4. Showacho & Morning Dew (Tune & Reel)

a) Showacho ():
Showacho is a train station in Osaka, Japan. This tune was composed by Inverness Piper Roddy (R.S.) MacDonald. Frank also learned this one from Walter Lelle.

b) Morning Dew (Giorria sa bhFraoch):
This well-known session tune is much the same as the reel version of Morrison's Jig.

5. Báidín Fheilimí (Feilimí's little boat) (Song)

A traditional Irish song which originates from the Gaeltacht region in the north-west of County Donegal, which is usually taught to young children at school (so to Saoirse). The lyrics are in the Gaelic, and it is based on the immortalisation of a small boat owned by a man called Feilimí (Phelim).

6. Brenda Stubbert’s & Rakish Paddy (Reels)

a) Brenda Stubbert's Reel:
Brenda Stubbert is a well known Cape Breton Fiddler. The Reel was composed by Jerry Holland, also a famous Cape Breton fiddler.

b) Rakish Paddy (‘Paidin An Racaire’ or ‘Pádraig Réice’):
This tune might originally have come over from Scotland. It was one of Uilleann Piper Willie Clancy’s favourite tunes.

7. Morrison's Jig (Port Uí Mhuirgheasa)

This traditional jig is named after fiddler James Morrison (1893-1947). Morrison was born near Riverstown, Co. Sligo, and emigrated to New York, where he did the first recording of this tune in the 1930's.

8. Grey (Song)

Written by Saoirse. A song of love and of losing your way.

9. Ride on (Song)

This song was written by singer/songwriter Jimmy MacCarthy from Macroom, County Cork.

10. Over the Moor to Drowsy Maggie (Reels)

a) Over the Moor to Maggie (Treasna an Riasc Go Mairgreadin):
Frank picked this tune up on the ‘Music at Matt Molloy’s’ CD.

b) Drowsy Maggie (“Mairgreadin Taimeac” or “Mairgreadin Suantac”):
Why is Maggie drowsy? Because she has yet to hear the Fleadh CD!

11. Eyelids into Snow (Song)

A song written by Irish singer/songwriter Sonny Condell, member of the Irish bands 'Tír na nÓg' and 'Scullion'. Saoirse had the pleasure of seeing Scullion live at the height of their popularity in the late seventies.

12. Star of the County Down (Song)

‘Star of the County Down’ is an old Irish ballad set near Banbridge in County Down. The words have been written by Cathal McGarvey (1866-1927), from Ramelton, County Donegal. The tune of the song is much older and can be found in 18th century Scottish documents.

13. Siúil A Rún (Walk My Love)(Song)
