“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.

“John Kimmel’s” is a jig I learned from my friend Geneviève Lambert, an accordion player in Switzerland. It is also known as “The Jig of Dead” and is associated with John J. Kimmel, famous accordion player in America in the early 1900s.
I learned “Jackie Coleman’s” from Dympna O’Sullivan’s album “Bean Chairdín”. It is a popular reel around Doolin and I associate it with flute player Stéphane Germain in particular.
The Maid Behind The Bar is one of the most common reel in Irish Music, but I have to admit we don’t hear it in Doolin very often. I learned it from Chris Droney, the legendary concertina player from Bell Harbour, Co. Clare.
