Story

As the howling winds from the Atlantic Ocean blew into Kinvara Harbour, Máire O'Keeffe continued to play her fiddle into the night without interruption (see 'Maurice O'Keeffe's'). The tune that she plays here was learned from the playing of Julia Clifford and her husband John.

Story

Máire O'Keeffe is the fiddle player on this track. It is once again a delight to hear my good friend Máire demonstrate the captivating fiddle style of County Kerry. Máire learned this polka from fiddle player Maurice O'Keeffe, a wonderful source of the music of the 'Kingdom' of Kerry.

Story

I will be forever grateful to Máire O'Keeffe, the County Kerry-style fiddle player, for her enthusiastic response when I told her about the project I was about to undertake. Máire's reaction was loud and clear: she said to me, 'Come on over here to Kinvara in County Galway and I will give you some tunes!' I could ask for no more encouraging invitation. Sandy and I arrived late in the night, having had to phone Máire and her husband Pat for help when we got a puncture in one of our tires a few miles away from their home. Pat came to the rescue and brought us back to their house where we were made most welcome. After a delicious dinner and all that goes along with it, the music started, and the first tune we recorded was this slide. Máire learned it from Toimín O'Connor, an old fiddle player from the mountains in Kerry.
