Farewell to Ireland
A hugely popular reel back in the day and magnificently recorded by such fiddle “greats” as Tommy Peoples, Kevin Burke and Sean Keane as well as many others. It’s roots lie in a Scottish strathspey called “The Highlander’s Farewell to Ireland” dating back to the mid-eighteenth century. High time it made a comeback!
