TREOIR<br />

become a regular feature of sessions<br />
throughout Ireland , du ring the past<br />
few years.<br />
Track I I - Colin McGiII:<br />
Hornpipe/Reel - Garrykennedy<br />
Castle/jean's Reel (4: 12)*<br />
Garrykennedy Castle was composed by<br />
Paddy O'Brien, a most influential<br />
accordion-player and composer from<br />
Nenagh, Co. Tipperary who passed<br />
away in 1991, while the second tune<br />
has become associated with the<br />
music of Scottish piano accordionist,<br />
Phil Cunningham, though the tune<br />
itself was composed by Bobby<br />
McLeod.<br />
Track 12 - Conor Walsh: Song -<br />
My Blue-Eyed Mountain Queen<br />
(3:58)<br />
This old song came to our attention<br />
in the mid 70's, and was in fact<br />
recorded by Anne Mulqueen in 1976<br />
on the <strong>Comhaltas</strong> Tour L.P. The<br />
Mountain Top'. We believe that it came<br />
originally from Co. Kerry.<br />
Track 13 - Triona Flavin: Reels -<br />
The Baltimore Salute/Sport;ng<br />
Paddy (2:09)*<br />
The Baltimore Salute was composed by<br />
noted musician/composer, Josie<br />
McDermott of Ballyfarnon in Co.<br />
Roscommon, while the second reel was<br />
first recorded in 1938 by The Belhavel<br />
Trio, a track which has been reissued by<br />
Topic Records on the 2000 compilation<br />
Past Masters of Irish Dance Music.<br />

Dooley.<br />
Track 15 - Group Reels: Martin<br />
Mulhaire's/The Easy Club Reel<br />

composed by now US-resident<br />
button accordionist Martin Mulhaire,<br />
from Eyrecourt, Co. Galway, while the<br />
second reel came to be known in<br />
Ireland through its airing on Sean<br />
Smyth's fiddle album The Blue Fiddle.<br />
The Easy Club reel was in fact<br />
composed by a Scottish<br />
bodhran/cittern player, Jim Sutherland,<br />

Easy Club.<br />
