Over the Moor to Peggy

This single reel is often played after Dr Gilbert's, I took this setting from a tape of Martin Wynn's playing it with Brian Conway. I use my pinky on those "dece" bits instead of the open string to give it a smoother sound.

Lad

This is a setting of "Come West Along the Road" as played by James "Lad" O'Beirne, the Sligo fiddler in New York. A tape of him playing it was the source for the Conway/DeMarco and James Kelly recordings.

The Monasteryeden Fancy

To me, this tune is more like a 2-part version of "The Foxhunter's Reel."

Monasteraden Fancy

Correct spelling would appear to be - Monasteraden. see:

Paul Brock says in the sleeve notes of his LP - Mo Chairdin:

"The Monasteraden Fancy, which was included in a set of reels recorded by the Aughrim Slopes Ceili Band in 1937, probably got it's name from a townland in Co. Sligo.
It is located near Gurteen in South County Sligo in the general area which produced a number of the legendary Irish traditional fiddle players including James Morrison & Michael Coleman."
