This tune is dedicated to the memory of my uncle Paddy Mc Namara of Drumbaniff, Crusheen, County Clare.
Paddy worked the family farm, one of their fields was know as Paddy’s Haggard.
He was very fine musician on accordion and fiddle, a singer and a dancer, and was a member of the Tulla Ceili Band in the 1950s and ’60s. He played fiddle on a series of 45’s that the band recorded back then.
