And check out this by one of the Mulcahey girls on the harp. I never thought jigs could sound so great on a harp! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDKdi3Dm-I8
Can anyone type the names of the jigs? She says them at the beginning of the video but my English listening is poor.
The first hp is O'Mahoneys. I learned it from Billy McComiskey, and he plays it after Nehly's Fiddle (a set he probably got from Denis Doody's Kerry Music CD).
Yes, that's the one. I learned it from Billy in G though, and the Mulchays are also playing it in G. I like the setting in D as well -- good for cranns on the pipes.
The Mulcahy Family (Mick, Louise and Michelle) will be joining us at the Catskills Irish Arts Week this summer (July 15-21) with Louise and Michelle teaching all week and Dad Mick doing some master session work.

Re: Mulcahys
sounds similarily like the hornpipe on track 11 of Brian Rooney's album Leitrim-London where he just calls it Cronin's.

The tune before the Lark in the Strand is called Bimid ag Ol or Bimis ag Ol.
