JB Samzun & Charles Monod - Aughavinna - Irish Traditional Music from Doolin, Co. Clare

Donnybrook Fair

I learned the jig “Donnybrook Fair” from the playing of concertina player Dympna O’Sullivan. It is a common session tune, which was also recorded by Josephine Marsh on the album “To Meet A Friend” with Cyril O’Donoghue.
