about

Both Seamus Ennis and the duet playing of Clare fiddler Joe Ryan and Cavan harmonica player and singer Eddie Clarke would be my source for this first hornpipe. I’ve always loved its lonesome and melancholy nature, qualities which are brought out via the above artists. Cal
Callaghan was an uncle of Padraig O’Keefe and spent some time in Kentucky in the 1880s, bringing a then unknown style of fiddle playing to an area rich with a regional style of its own. Certain elements of American old-time fiddle music have been compared to the Sliabh Luachra style, and it is easy to hear why. The tune can be found in Ceol Rince na hEireann, Volume 2. The second hornpipe was learned from one of the earliest recordings I heard growing up, Matt Molloy and Sean Keane’s 1985 Green Linnet LP Contentment is Wealth, and is still one of my favorites today. Galway accordion maestro Joe Burke also recorded it in 1965 on the landmark LP he made with Andy McGann and Felix Dolan, A Tribute to Michael Coleman.
