about

Both of these tunes are associated with Sliabh Luachra, and particularly with Denis Murphy. This is one of countless "Callaghan's"es which may refer to Cal Callaghan, a relation of Padraig O'Keeffe who lived for some years in America. The Mountcollins is one of two reels by that name which Murphy recorded for Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hÉireann - notably one of several tunes which Murphy played with the fiddle cross-tuned. These bright, singled reels were a pleasure to improvise footwork to.
