EUR € 0.99

(jigs) 6:28 trad. arr. P. Dooley except 'The Wishing Well' c. Tommy Peoples and 'The Harper’s Fancy' c. P. Dooley


The first of these jigs is based on the air of a song that is often associated with the late Paddy Tunney.
'The Wishing Well' was written by Tommy Peoples who, as well as being one of the most influential fiddle players of his generation, has of late become a prolific composer. The tune’s meandering arpeggio motifs make it well suited to the harp and yet quite a challenge.
‘The Harper’s Fancy’ is my own, it came to me one day while I was busking at the Cliffs of Moher.
