Pat Burke's...

...is the name I have for this tune. Played by Tommy Peoples on one of his early recordings (High Part of the Road??)--he follows it with "Geese in the Bog."

Boys of Tandernagee

This version named Boys of Tandernagee is as played by Arcady (great band) on 'After the Ball' - I feel it flows a bit better than the version of Linnane's here.

We play this in D minor round here. Not saying that makes us better, of course...

Linnane's/ Boys of Taderagee

I think the song 'Rollicking Boys of Tanderagee' can be found on Paddy Tunny's recording, 'A Wild Bees Nest'

Boys of Tanderagee

You can listen to a nice concertina and fiddle duet playing of this jig here: http://www.myspace.com/maireadhurley

Mairead Hurley is from Ballymote and won the All-Ireland a couple of years ago. I know a few members of the Hurleys personally, but have never met her yet. I don't know anything about the fiddler Jacqui Martin. I guess they play together on a regular basis somewhere in Dublin.
