Source and
other information
ME MS 006, n.d.. No tune titles were included with this audiocassette publication. Tracks A.1-A.5 are for the Victoria Jig Set, tracks A.6-B.4 for the Borlin Valley Polka Set, and tracks B.5-B.10 for the Mealagh Valley Jig Set. I have tentatively dated this publication to no later than 1996, based on correspondence from Yutaka Usui, 13 Sept. 2003, who had just posed my question in person to Timmy McCarthy and Rhona. Note that the audiocassette liner notes incorrectly credit Donncha Jr. on concertina and Aogán on guitar.

What Does this Page Tell You?

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.
