Down The Broom

“Down The Broom” is a reel I have learned through various sessions, but I associate it with Noel O’Donoghue in particular. Noel is a great flute player from Kilfenora and also a dear friend who has always been very encouraging and generous with his music over the years.

This reel is very often played before “The Gatehouse Maid“, it is a classic set which has been recorded many times.
