This is another fine reel from the flute playing repertoire of Dublin’s Mick Hand. The name is a well-chosen one, especially if one has ever encountered a primrose flower along country lanes and by-ways in Ireland. The aroma of the primrose has special memories for me; I remember plucking them as a child and then taking a bunch home to my mother for simple adornment in our kitchen.
