Frankie has stolen back this melody from G.F. Handel, the famous German which stayed some years in Dublin and stole there all these tunes from O'Carolan and the like, rearranged it for an orchestra and called the result 'Barock music'.............
De Danann with Mary Black singing, Newcastle-upon-Tyne 1983
That concert was stunning. After an instrumental start, Mary came up to the mike, said something very brief and just launched into a glorious, anthemic, weepy song beginning "I went to church last Sunday/my love she passed me by.." at full throttle, with the band giving it everything, especially Martin o' Connor on the accordeon. Similarly when she sang the ballad "Anachie Gordon". The way she and the band do "Hard Times" on the album gives some idea, but really, as they say, you had to be there. The rendition of her other tracks on the album is more subdued, as I remember, as is the treatment of the two above-mentioned concert songs on her first solo album "Mary Black".
1983, released as CD later.
The singer on this recording is Mary Black.

TRACK 3 : Mulqueen's Reels
I figured the second reel is Jim Coleman's Reel.
Anyone have a clue about the title of the first and third reels of this medley?
