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”.

Girls of Farranfore (The)

I learned “The Girls of Farranfore” as part of a set played by the great accordion player from Limerick Donie Nolan, which I recorded during the Russell Weekend 2013. It comes after another reel called “The Pride Of Rathmore”. They are also played together sometimes, but as a three part reel (“The Pride Of Rathmore” followed by the first part of “The Girls Of Farranfore”).

Hold The Reins

I learned “Hold The Reins” from a session recording I made of a nice evening in Hotel Doolin back in 2008 with my friend Stéphane, Yvonne Casey and Terry Bingham. It was also recorded by accordion and concertina player from Chicago John Williams, who has spent a lot of time in Doolin over the years. It is also called “The Dublin Lads”.
