Larry’s Favourite

“Larry’s Favourite” is a composition of Paddy O’Brien from Tipperary. I first learned this reel from my friend Johannes Perritaz, a great flute player from Switzerland. I hadn’t played it for a very long time though but was reminded of it by the amazing concertina player Tony O’Connell, with whom I was lucky enough to spend a day during my time at the Irish World Academy in Limerick.

I also associate this tune with Siobhan Peoples and Murty Ryan, who recorded it on their album “Time on our Hands”.

Master Crowley’s is a reel I learned from Hugh Healy, a great concertina player from Corofin in Co. Clare. It is sometimes played with a third part which is actually the first part of “The Roscommon Reel” (also known as Master Crowley’s!), and I’ve even heard the two tunes play together as a 5-part reel.
