about

Marla composed and named the first tune for the beautiful Adelphian Club Building in Alameda, California, built in 1908, which came into her care for some years and provided the home for many magic nights of music. The Gneeveguilla comes from the iconic Mary Bergin recording. It is a popular tune played in the San Francisco sessions. It is a melding together of two tunes that were played as a medley on an early recording by Kerry born fiddler Paddy Cronin – The Pride of Rathmore and The Girls Of Farranfore. The combination makes for a great lift in the third part when the tune darts out of its E minor place into a bright moment of G major arpeggio.
