Terry Teehan’s

“Terry Teehan’s” is a polka associated with Terry “Cuz” Teehan, one of Sliabh Luachra’s great musicians who actually spent most of his adult life in Chicago. This tune is also called “The Newmarket Polka” sometimes, or at lease it past of the famous “Newmarket Polkas” set recorded by Jackie Daly with Patrick Street (they play it in A major though).

This is the first tune my daughter Lily ever learned and you can watch us play this polka together in the video below.
