from Compositions by Néillidh Ó Maolagáin
My father Tom Mulligan was my first pipe teacher and taught me on his own set of C# pipes which were made in 1938 by James Mulchrone, originally from Abbeyshrule in County Longford and who was then making pipes in St Peter’s Road in Phibsborough, Dublin.
This hornpipe is a tribute to my father who inspired my love of Irish music, culture, language and the joy of life.
