Martin Wynne’s No. 1

I learned Martin Wynne’s No. 1 from the Riches of Clare CD back in 2010. It was part of a great set of reels played by Eric Healy (fiddle), Colm Healy (accordion), Kieran Hehir (banjo) and Seanie McGrath (bouzouki).

Martin Wynne was one of the great Sligo fiddlers of the 20th Century and this particular reel is quite a common session tune.

Shortly after they recorded it, I went down to Dingle and got Brendan Begley’s very first album (a gem) and also Jackie Daly & Matt Cranitch’s latest album, and “Con Carthy’s Favourite” featured on both CDs, so I figured I had to learn it !
