Garrett Barry’s
Garrett Barry’s is one of the first jigs I ever learned. It is a common session tune associated with the blind piper Garrett Barry from Inagh, in Co. Clare.

Holly Bush (The)
“The Holly Bush” has been one of my favourite reels for a good number of years. It was composed by Finbarr Dwyer and you can also hear it played in E sometimes. Adam & Dave Shapiro recorded this tune on their album “Cape To Clare”. I also associate this reel with the playing of Christy Barry and James Devitt, with whom I have enjoyed many sessions.

Maid Behind The Bar (The)
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.
Kilmaley Jig (The)
I learned The Kilmaley Jig from Terry Bingham’s CD “Traditional Irish Music from Doolin, Co. Clare”, which is one of my all-time favourites. He follows this tune with “Billy McCormick’s”, another lovely jig. Kilmaley is a parish here in Co. Clare, close to Ennis.
