about

Jimmy was fortunate to have met the famous “Weaver”, Dennis Murphy from Gneeveguilla in Sliabh Luachra, from whom he first heard the lovely Farewell to Whisky, a polka with ‘its own rhythm’ and there’s a Scottish song bearing the same name. Jenny Lind, he heard on his first visit to England one golden summer in the seventies with Jackie Daly and Seamus Creagh where Jenny Lind was the anthem of England in that lovely time, mainly played by Morris men on every corner of every street and pub in Sidmouth, Devon.
Marla learned Parnell’s March as a slide from her old friend Seamus Egan when he lived in San Francisco. It shares its air with Sweet Marie, a song about a racehorse composed by the popular Irish song writer Percy French and recorded by many singers, including Ireland’s much–loved Brendan O’Dowda.
