Morning Lark

This jig is fairly widely played with the best known recorded version of it being associated with Noel Hill and Tony McMahon. It's normally followed by Joe Coe Cooley's Delight which I'll post shortly.

The Peacock's Feather

I wasn't the one who put this as an alternative title because The Peacock's feather is more commonly assosciated with a hornpipe of the same name. Anyway, despite this, it is called The Peacock's Feather on the Beginish album.
