Source and
other information		Legacy International CD 308, n.d.. This CD reissue - perhaps unauthorized? - is presented as by anonymous musicians, under the generic title "Irish Traditional Fiddle Music. Reel, Jigs and Polkas / Cieli [sic] Band Music." But my research using various library records and the page <http://www.kilfenoraceiliband.com/history.htm> confirms that this is actually the Kilfenora Ceili Band's 1974 album, originally published by EMI and in the US by Everest. This was either their second or third album (can anyone tell me whether their other early-1970s album, "Clare Céilí," was made before or after this 1974 one?).

Every Irish tune on this album was identified by carefully comparing this recorded performance with all other tunes in the Irish Traditional Music Tune Index—by comparing musically, disregarding tune titles. The track and tune numbers below, furthermore, correspond to what you actually hear on this album. This page is thus more reliable than the original album notes, track titles listed by iTunes/Media Player, or other Web sites, all of which usually suffer from errors.
