Behind the Haystack

“Behind the Haystack” is a jig I learned from Noel O’Donoghue and Hugh Healy, on the second Riches of Clare CD. It is sometimes called “Munster Buttermilk” as well.

I recorded a video of that tune back in 2015 for my 30 Tune-a-day challenge, have a look below!

It is very often played after another great reel, “The Hare’s Paw”.
