Fine listening. The box and fiddle styles are wonderfully matched. The tunes are nicely separated by airs, and Sweet Biddy of Baile Mhuirne is a real beauty. There is a sean-nos song called Baile Mhuirne that is a version of this air.
Sweet Biddy Of Baile Mhuirne is a reel not an air (also known as Ceol Na gCeártan) and is followed by another tune not mentioned on the listing, "Quinn's"
