Pauline's Place

Picked this up at my local session. It's a composition by P.J. King.

Who is PJ King and where is he from?
It seems different enough to be a really interesting tune and still has that true trad feel. Hey Dow why don't you record this one for the Craic online. That Concertina of yours can't still be in being fixed.

Button box player from Ennis.
I haven't got it fixed yet. I already have half my track laid down so I've already decided my tunes, and this isn't one of them...

BTW why did you assume male? How did you know P.J. wasn't a she?

P J King is a fine box player from Ennis who used to play in Cruises with Kevin Crawford back in the early nineties. He also featured on a CD with Kevin released around that time but I can't remember the title - it would have been shortly before Kevin's "D" Flute album.

Dow, I have yet to meet a PJ in Ireland that was a female. Come to think of it all the Double capital abbreviations for first names seem to be for males only. When there were too many Peters in the family one would become known as PJ (Peter-James/John). There are other abbreviations like this but PJ is the commonest I think.
Thanks folks for the info on the composer.

PJ appears in "Sanctuary Sessions," recorded live in Cruises: he plays with Siobhan Peoples. Mighty duet!

The Kevin Crawford and PJ King album is called 'Raise the Rafters'. Nice album. I love P.J's playing, he is also in a band called 'Damp in the Attic' and they are brilliant. They've an album called 'I was flying it'....great stuff.

I realised when playing this last night that everyone except me was playing a low B in the 1st bar: |BD~D2 B,DGB|...
