about
I heard this sung by Drogheda singer and banjo/mandolin player Donal Maguire from his marvelous 1979 album of the same name. Having not heard it as an air on any other instrument before, I decided to take a stab at it! First published in the 1870s in the Cork Examiner newspaper from one W.B. Guiney, the words abound with highbrow language and intricate
rhyming that were composed as a satirical rebuttal against the prominent Anglo-based attitudes of Irish debasement and mockery.

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
