I had the honour of playing with him often in the early 1960s. Both of us were members of a c&eacute;il&iacute; band known as The Lough Derg. That was so long ago! Martin Woods had fine old tunes which he loved playing for me. <br /><br />Johnny McCarthy, the accordion player and great hurler from County Clare, recorded this tune on his CD <em>Solo Run</em>. Thanks, Johnny, for all those solo runs on the playing pitch and for your mighty accordion music. Thanks also to Laura Byrne, flutist; Donna Long, pianist; and Billy McComiskey on accordion for their excellent rendition of this reel. <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=39&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=McComiskey%2C+Billy+%28accordion%29+40711692">McComiskey, Billy (accordion) 40711692</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=39&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Byrne%2C+Laura+%28flute%29">Byrne, Laura (flute)</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=39&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Long%2C+Donna+%28piano%29+31607533">Long, Donna (piano) 31607533</a> Séamus Connolly Boston College Libraries 2016-02-12 <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="license"><img style="border-width: 0;" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc/4.0/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License</a>. <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=46&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=McComiskey%2C+Billy+">McComiskey, Billy </a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=46&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Byrne%2C+Laura">Byrne, Laura</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=46&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Long%2C+Donna">Long, Donna</a> Some transcriptions are based on historical source recordings. <a href="/exhibits/show/essays/essay-sweeney">More info.</a> http://library.bc.edu/connolly/plugins/Dropbox/files/IMC_M064_2013_03_0116.mp3 http://library.bc.edu/connolly/plugins/Dropbox/files/01-16_Martin_Woods_Reel.pdf
