Known as Miss Lyall’s in nineteenth-century Scotland, the first reel came by its other name in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland. We learned the second from the never-quite major, never-quite-minor playing of the East Clare legend Paddy Canny (1919–2008), the last of the album’s fiddler–farmers. After earlier tunes from historic players and composers, the closing reel pays homage to a favourite living fiddler, Randal Bays.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
