Harry Bradley’s “Mama’s Pet”

Is it just me, or is the version of “Mama’s Pet” on this recording very similar to “The Gossan that Bate his Father” and related tunes? Great version though, and great recording!

I’d say you’re right, Daniel, on all counts. First comment in 4 years !

£7.99 on “iTunes”.
Worth mentioning that there are some great duets on this with fellow flute-player Sean Gavin, accordion player Colm Gannon and James Carty on fiddle.
