Ed Duffy's (barndance)

This is the second of the two delightful Eddie Duffy's barndances (both called "Eddie Duffy's") that I learnt at the Scoil �igse at Clonmel this month, and the first of which I submitted yesterday. In performance it follows on from the first.

Eddie Duffy's Barndance

This is the second of the two Eddie Duffy barndances on the first track of Ben Lennon's "Dog Big and Dog Little". The first is played just melody, but as the second tune starts listen out for Fr Seamus Quinn's wonderful and very effective piano accompaniment.
