Tumbledown
I got this interesting jig from NYC box player Patty Furlong, who said that the tune's second section was inspired by some step dancers, who, attempting to execute some heel clicks, well, um, tumbled down. Does anyone know the composer?

Composer
I have this CD in the car at the moment. Composer was James O'Grady - a piper and fiddler from Luton who plays with the Clare group "Planxty O'Rourke" - according to the sleeve notes.
