On a brief visit home from New York in the 1950s, Paddy O’Brien of Newtown, Co. Tipperary was taped playing this for Ciarán Mac Mathúna’s Raidio Éireann recording unit. It was aired a few weeks afterwards on Ciarán’s programme, ‘A Job of Journeywork’. Paddy played a two-part jig as a lead-up to this. He got both of them from Galway’s Jack Coen. These two great musicians were known to meet once a week at Jack’s home in a collaboration of research and music-making!
