about

The first reel in this set was composed in 2014 when Tommy was living on the Cashel Road outside Clonmel, Co. Tipperary where he played a lot of music with the inimitable fiddle player, Jack Ryan, and the O’Connell family.
‘All About Weaving' is a composition of Charlie Lennon’s. We learned this setting from the playing of Frankie Gavin who recorded it on his 1989 album, 'Frankie Goes to Town’.
'The Prince's Feather' is a composition of the wonderful fiddler and composer, Maurice Lennon, and was recorded on the album 'The Crooked Rose' by Stockton's Wing. The tune was originally composed in the key of E major but we play it here in the more flute / fiddle-friendly key of D. This set demonstrates, to some degree, the evolution of the tradition through the magical compositions of the Lennon's, Charlie and Maurice, in the traditional style.
