The Knockabout Polka
A no-frills version of this lovely three part polka. James Kelly does a great fiddlistic version of it on The Ring Sessions.
Dear Zina, if you would like this tune to link up with that recording adjust the title on track 8 from "knockaboul" to "knockabout".

Mistake
Sorry, my mistake. It appears the title was correct as entered on the Ring Sessions (and "Knockabout" is an alternate title).

Denis Murphy's/Knocknabowl
Also known as "Denis Murphy's", but I'm not adding that to the list of alternative titles because it'll probably automatically link to about another 20 recordings. Recorded on the "Outlet" label by "Ar Leithidi", a group which I think featured most of the Dublin O'Brien family. Shouldn't it be "Knocknabowl" ?

Knocknabowl
comes from the Irish `Cnoc na buaile`The hill of the milking place.

Thx for the clarification cos. Was wondering maybe it was Eastern European or something.
>>Also known as "Denis Murphy's, but I'm not adding that"...
