Folk dance music--Ireland]]> Piano music--Ireland]]> Set dances]]> Lawrie, Kathleen]]> de Glin, Brendan]]> aforementioned occasion some forty years ago, Kathleen Lawrie played 'The Fiddler Around the Faerie Tree' for me as a set dance. Kathleen had learned the tune from dancing master Brendan de Glin from Derry. A shorter version of this tune may be found in O'Neill's collection The Dance Music of Ireland, 1001 Gems as a hornpipe called 'The Mullingar Races'. I am delighted that Kathleen agreed to record it again for this collection.]]> Lawrie, Kathleen (piano)]]> Creative Commons License

Folk dance music--Ireland]]> Reels (Music)]]> Piano music--Ireland]]> Fiddle tunes--Ireland]]> Lawrie, Kathleen]]> We all had a big laugh when Kathleen discovered herself playing the reel on her accordion! That was my way of reminding her that she did indeed know the tune. I was thrilled to have Kathleen perform it with me for this collection, even though she had not played the piano for thirty-five years. She practiced for two days on a piano we borrowed from Kevin McElroy and his wife Kate Butler in order to give us this performance. I was delighted to have a chance to play with her, and I am happy to say that she has returned to the music and once again plays her beloved piano.
