Rising Sun, Limerick Lasses

About this film

Flute solo, Ed Geoghegan - piano, New Republic 2334. Packie Dolan recorded the first reel as Mullin's Fancy, which is used for his specifically fiddle setting. It is a very common Northumbrian song/tune, the Keel Row; other Irish players call it the Strawberry Blossom. The second one Paddy Killoran recorded as the Pretty Girls of Mayo, but it has gone under innumerable titles/settings as well. Two recordings on this site featuring it are Mullaney's Favorite by Mullaney and Stack, and Liam Walsh's Biddy from Ballyvourney.
