Great set of tunes. I got this on tape from a friend about 5 years ago and never really knew much about the musicians or the recording until the other day when I searched the session web site for Turas. Of course, while the recording had not been submitted before, there is references to the group so check out these previous discussions/comments
Some very good playing on this. 2 of the track 3 titles are wrong. “Dermot Byrne’s” is “Bob McQuillan’s” by Aly Bain, and “Michael’s” is “The Trip To Nenagh” or “An Moinfheir”[ “The Meadow” ] by fiddler Sean Ryan.
Sort of remeber them. They got people talking alot at the time. They were way ahead of their time and the fact they were so young got a lot of interest in them. Surprised they didnt do more than one recording though!
The "Liz Carroll's" listed on track 1 is in fact called "Wissahickon Drive" (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1769). When you click on the link in the track listing, it brings you to another tune written by Liz Carroll.

To clarify/avoid confusion

Further tune name clarifications
Re track 1 (and a great track it is);
Paddy Gavin's (The Bond reel):

This setting of the High Reel is also known as the beehive and is further discussed and found here:

Theirs sounds like a Dmajor setting of Sally Gardens and is supremely tasty. I'll post the recipe at my first convenience!)

Addendum
The Bond HOUSE (sorry for the gaffe), and I meant no disrespect to the Beehive via the lower case b - bad typist me.
