One of Josie McDermott's best compositions

I believe that Altan's version is the most listened to as they just called it "McDermott's" which explains why it was submitted in 2005 under this name. Of course it does appear on The Session as "Father O'Grady's Trip To Bocca" and it is composed by flute player, Josie McDermott. But there are many tunes with the name McDermott's. Many times it is a different McDermott. The only shortcoming of this site is that once a tune, jig or reel is filed under one name (like McDermott's) there is not room for another tune with the same name unless it is renamed. Or as in this case of the same tune appearing more than once under a different name.
