The Pleasures of Hope

I heard this on the Late Session (RTE) last week, from the playing of Liam O'Flynn, where he followed it with 'Rick's Rambles', which makes a fine set - I have also put the latter tune on to the session today so hope you enjoy them - they are already firmly in my set list !

Watch and listen to Leeds Ceili Band play this: http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/comhaltaslive_216_1_leeds_ceili_band It comes after the jig set. Nice to see some familiar faces, especially Patrick on the banjo.
