Yes it is the Queen Of The Rushes but also known as the Chorus although there is another Chorus Jig.
As for bodhran bliss and the comments about who he punched in 1977- imagine still needing to talk about someone you punched over thirty years later !! Oh dear?
I think someone pointed out somewhere that there are very strong similarities between "Queen Of The Rushes/Chorus" in "D" and "Hartigan's Fancy/Coppers and Brass" in "G". may have been Paddy52, I think. I saw Kiearan Hanrahan in a session on the Monday at that Fleadh - not a mark on him !
From what I know of Kieran, it would have to have been a sneaky dig from behind( always possible if one read's bodhran's posts) and there would certainly have been retribution. Maybe bodhran dreamt it or wished it???

What day did he win the competition?
And I don't want to ask what you were doing with him, as I know WHERE I punched him, and I wonder how come you were looking there.

As a highly intelligent person of course it was from behind.
Retribution? I shouted "who is a Belfast Ba########" and 200 people jumped up and started beating everyone.

So who doesn't know the difference between "De Danann" & "Stockton's Wing" then ?

Re: De Dannan on Aran Island - video clip

Nice dancing, once the dog got out of the way. It's a pleasure to dance to such fine music from The De Stockton's Dannan Wing.

"The De Stockton's Dannan Wing" :0 .A legal minefield, does anyone have Tony's number for an expert opinion?

That's that banjo played I punched in Ennis in 1977.
That's not De danann. I never punched any of them.

Re: De Dannan on Aran Island - video clip
The chorous jig, and The connaught mans rambles

Re: De Dannan on Aran Island - video clip - tune titles
I don't think that the first tune is the Chorus Jig.
To my ear, it sounds more like a version of Hartigan's Fancy.
The second tune is definitely Connaugtman's Rambles, though.

Re: De Dannan on Aran Island - video clip
The first tune sounds to me like Queen of the Rushes.
