I learned The Lost and Found from the the playing of Terry Bingham, who recorded it on his album Traditional Music from Doolin, Co. Clare. It was one of the first tunes I ever learned on the concertina and has been one of my favourites ever since. It is quite a common session tune too!

I learned “The Humours of Castlefin” during the Russell Memorial Weekend 2013, from Terry Bingham. It is one of my favourite tunes and I associate with Noel Hill and Tony MacMahon, who recorded it on their album “I gCnoc Na Graí”.
“Behind the Haystack” is a jig I learned from Noel O’Donoghue and Hugh Healy, on the second Riches of Clare CD. It is sometimes called “Munster Buttermilk” as well.
“The Boys of Ballisodare” is a popular session which I learned from Christy Barry, Terry Bingham & James Devitt. It is very often played before “The Five Mile Chase”.
