On track 4 they have a very interesting version of "The Maid Behind the Bar" (or is it actually "The Green Maintain"?). If I have time I'll try to transcribe it and post it here.
I suspect that's the version myself and Will have transcribed from the playing of "Moving Cloud" and the Gort session recording. Both feature Kevin Crawford, I believe. Have a look: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/166/comments
I was recently given this album by as a gift, I am incredibly impressed and honoured to receive this.
Thank you Mickey, it would be a joy to see you Brid and Niamh back here in the very near future. And thank you Mickey for the cd.
I just had to post that this CD is really just about perfect. It took a couple-three listens all the way through to truly appreciate what is going on here because it comes on a little bit quietly ... but it's just the most lovely music, lovingly rendered by some truly brilliant musicians. Settings are great, the fiddling is dead classy, and the style throughout is just through-the-roof spectacular. Charlie Lennon's Emigrant Suite is such a treat, as is the just-a-bit-wry treatment of Handel's March from "Scipio," the ceili band set is just grand, and then there's Mickey's live Col. Fraser's/Bucks of Oranmore set -- pretty much the sine qua non in this piper's book. Oh, and Niamh Dunne's singing - sigh. The Dunnes and their friends aren't afraid to show their love for the music, which to me makes it twice as cool. If you can find a copy of this CD, I think you'll find it well worth the effort.

You should look at the travelers project that Mickey has put together. Insightful stuff.

Track 14
Last tune is McFadden's Handsome Daughter, not the "McFadden's" that is hyperlinked . This is the correct one: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1581
