Five Mile Chase (The)

“The Five Mile Chase” is a great session tune, and it usually comes after “The Boys of Ballisodare“. I associate this set with Christy Barry and James Devitt.

Drummond Castle

“Drummond Castle” is a jig that comes from Scotland originally, but I have learned it from John Blake, Lamond Gillespie & Mick Leahy on the amazing album “Traditional Irish Music From London”.
