about
Another Ed Reavy composition, and one of my favorites, begins this set of jigs, which I learned from the playing of Offaly accordion player Tommy Maguire and Chicago legend Liz Carroll’s 1978 Shanachie LP Kiss Me Kate. The title refers to a Wexford laborer named Pat Kane who
worked in the Philadelphia area and was an acquaintance of Ed Reavy. A great lover of dark porter, Kane was reputed to have said that “it’s more than a drink, it’s both meat and dhrink”. The second tune is from the Rushy Mountain area from the playing of Julia Clifford, which she learned from another fiddler in that area named Art O’Keefe. The final jig is another from Volume 1 of the Canon Goodman Collection, first heard from Leitrim piper Brian McNamara and Limerick concertina player Tim Collins. Their music continues to be a huge influence on both myself and my partner Autumn Rhodes, who is also a fantastic concertina player.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

Arragnements fit together perfectly, piping is precise, variations accentuate the tunes well and the rhythm section is dancing! Unique and enjoyable all around! MichaelD

Nick's settings and playing of these old tunes on his instrument are just superb. When I first saw his track list I was shocked, He had found more tracks from Oscar and Malvina than I had in years of searching. This album remains a musical and academic delight! Wetootwaag
