Released 1977 on Topic Records. Dick Gaughan playing traditional tunes on acoustic guitar. Triplets galore!

3) The Flowing Tide

10) Ask My Father
Lads of Laoise
The Connaughtman's Rambles
11) The Bird in the Bush (also called "Bird in the Tree" )

12) Strike the Gay Harp (also called "The Night Dance" )
Shores of Lough Gowna
13) Jack Broke the Prison Doo
Donald Blue
Wha'll Dance Wi' Wattie?
The list above is wrong for the last tune in 10. It's not The Connaughtman's Rambles; it's The Connaught Heifers (or, at least it is on my vinyl copy). There's no suggestion on the lists on this website that these are alternative names for the same tune (although I'm happy to be corrected). This is a shame, as I was looking to see if I had a recording of this tune and I thought I had. But now I see I haven't (if you get my drift).
99% sure that Gaughan played the "Heifers" on that track. Not like nigelg to make a mistake like that, though. Both tunes, "Heifers" and "Rambles" are here on this database.
