Here, a longer setting of the tune, which can be found in Ryan's Mammoth Collection, is performed by the wonderfully talented Kimberley Fraser from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It is fascinating to imagine the musical meetings that occurred when musicians from Ireland immigrated to America and encountered not only American-born players of Irish traditional music, but also players of Scottish music from Cape Breton. This tune is a great example of such musical cross-pollination. Perhaps Paddy O'Brien picked the tune up in America from a fiddle player, or from MacQuarrie's book, converted it to a hornpipe, and took it back to Ireland with him when he returned in the early 1960s. And now, 'The Bonnie Lass of Headlake' has travelled back and forth across the Atlantic many times; this time in fine style indeed, played by John Daly on the fiddle with Kevin Brehony at the piano.]]> Daly, John (fiddle)]]> Brehony, Kevin (piano)]]> MacQuarrie, Gordon (composer) 156370256]]>
