The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
James ‘Lad’ O’Beirne was a Co. Sligo fiddling giant. His reputation as a musician has somewhat overshadowed his talent as a composer of this reel and many other tunes.
