Paddy Breen's

An interesting jig but rather bland if played without some well-placed ornaments. I usually short roll the G's in the a part and the e's in the b part. Better musicians than me can probably come up with some neat variations as well

I don't know who Paddy Breen is (or was), perhaps he is related to the Dan Breen of Dan Breen's Reel.

O believe I might be able to blame Mary Bergin for all those short rolls, a bit of fun, and some other bits are courtesy of P.J. Crotty, both gifted musicians...
