I’ve written some notes already regarding Eddie Maloney, who played the fiddle with the Ballinakill Céilí Band. Eddie also played with the Galway ensemble Shaskeen, and was a great contributor of old tunes such as this jig. It’s worth writing here that Eddie was an exceptionally great flute player with a wonderful knack of utilizing the dynamics of the instrument and therefore projecting his music with exceptional phrasing and rhythmic ease.
