Cup of Tea (The)

A common session tune, “The Cup of Tea” is a great reel which I learned through various sessions. This version is quite standard, however I would highly recommend Tommy Peoples’ version on his album “The Quiet Glen”, I think it’s the best recording of this tune ever.

I have played it with Terry on other occasions since and he likes to play it after a hornpipe called “Caisleán an Óir”.
