JB Samzun & Charles Monod - Aughavinna - Irish Traditional Music from Doolin, Co. Clare

Longford Collector (The)

The Longford Collector is the second tune of one of Irish traditional music’s most famous sets of reels, from the playing of Michael Coleman : “The Tarbolton”, “The Longford Collector” and “The Sailor’s Bonnet”.

I learned this set through various sessions but associate it mostly with Noel O’Donoghue and Seán Vaughan.
