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

First House In Connaught (The)

I learned ”The First House in Connaught” from a one of Doolin’s legends, concertina player Packie Russell. It is an old favourite amongst concertina players in County Clare and has been recorded by Paddy Murphy, Tom Carey and Dympna O’Sullivan among others.

See the video below of Packie Russell playing this tune (after “The Milliner’s Daughter”) at Gus O’Connor’s Pub back in the early 1970s.

Behind The Bush In The Garden

I first heard this tune on John Williams’ first album, on which he calls it “The Tidy Woman” and plays it more like a jig. It is more common as a slide though, under the name “Behind The Bush In The Garden”. I learned if from the Doon Ceili Band.
