“Scatter The Mud” is a jig that I learned from the playing of Charlie Piggott, who recorded it on the album The Lonely Stranded Band together with concertina player Miriam Collins and Joe Corcoran on bouzouki.

Morrison’s Jig is a very common Irish session tune associated with the great fiddler James Morrison from Sligo. I associate this tune this tune with my friend Adrian McMahon, a great flute player who learned many tunes from Peader Reilly. Kevin Griffin recorded this….
“Don’t Touch That Green Linnet” is a composition of the late Tommy Peoples, the fiddle player from Donegal who lived in County Clare for many years and influenced many great fiddles players. Tommy’s tunes are all remarkable and I particularly like this one.
“The Humours of Tullycrine” is a wonderful hornpipe and has been one of my favourite tunes for many years. It is quite a common hornpipe in Clare, and I associate it Sean Vaughan in particular. It is often followed by another beautiful hornpipe, “Mickey Callaghan’s Fancy”.
