1. The Boogie
I heard Martin's album "Smoke and Mirrors" and
one of the songs started with a riff that I thought would sound very good
with the tune Dinny O'Brien.
Martin Simpson: Guitar
Theo Paige: Fiddles, Bodhrán, Harmonica
Boogie music clip: .wav
2. Jigs: The Humours of Ballyloughlin/Paddy Fahy's
When Séamus came down to record, these are the
tunes we came up with as soon as we got to the studio. The first jig is
a piping classic and was popularized by Willie Clancy and Séamus
Ennis in the 1950s and later by Liam O'Flynn in the 1970's.
Séamus Egan: Banjo (from Offaly, Ireland, not
the Solas Egan)
Theo Paige: Fiddle

Todd Denman: Uilleann Pipes

3. Reels: Major Harrison's Fedora/The Virginia Reel
I got the first tune from Lucas and the second tune from
Laurie Riven. Martin got the tune that goes with it out of his head.

12. Reels: Montgomery's Rant/The Petticoat Loop/The Belles
