Re: Leitrim Ceili Band LP -Joe Burke, Paddy O'Brien, Seamus Connolly et.al.

I have an album in my collection: The Leitrim Ceili Band - Current All-Ireland Champions. The record is Circa 1960
Could be what you are looking for, although some of the tunes are different than some of those you have mentioned:
It has the Lakes of Kilarney on the front and a history of the the Letrim on the back. There is a also small picture of the band on the back of the sleeve. Slightly different from the one on the Website in as much as the musicians are seated differently. The blurb states that the musicians who won the All-Ireland in 1959 are as follows Michael Dooley, Paddy Doorley - Fiddles. Tony Molloy, Paddy Carty - Flutes. Mick Darcy, Joe Burke - Accordions. Anne Marie Courtney - Piano. Sean Curley, Drums. and the tunes are:
Side One:
Reels. Anne Walshe’s & The Maid of Mt Kisco (that should be Cisco)
Reels: Butlers & Morning Star
Reels: Knock Rua Hill & Tom Wards Downfall
Jigs: Lonesome Jig & Portree
Jigs: Carly’s & Gallagher’s Frolics
Jigs: Rainy Day & Lissalumma Fiddler

Side Two:
Jigs: MacDarcy's & Tell her I am
Jigs: Mile and a bit &The Leitrim Jig
Jigs: Kittly’s Rambles & The Money was lost
Reels: Green Groves & The bag of potatoes
Reels: Rough Road & The Leitrim Reel

That should read 'history of the Leitrim Ceili Band on the back'

Further correction: On Side Two insert Reels: Knockbarron Hill & St Ruth's Bush after Jigs.

Thanks for that Free Reed. I obviously had a few of the details and names wrong. I noticed from a search of posts that you had mentioned the album previously in a thread.
