"This is a collection of tunes I have gathered together over the past number of years. Initialy from living in Dundalk and from playing sessions there and also spending summer months around West Clare. Being a member of the traditional group ARCADY gives me the opportunity to travel abroad and collect more unusual tunes. I now live in Galway where the music is plentiful and the standard exceptionally high. I hope you enjoy the music here, wherever you are." - Brendan Larrissey

Coincidence

Very strange - I was looking for this recording in the database just last week. I’ve mentioned elsewhere about tracks from "Cran’s" 1st CD turning up on compilation CDs emanating from Holland, without giving them any credit, or even mentioning their name. Brendan Larrissey’s recording is on the same label, and some of these tracks also turn up, uncredited, of course.
"Roly Poly" - track 2 - is "Mulhaire’s"
