| Clancy's dream is from the playing of the great flute player John MacKenna, who came from Tarmon, Co.Leitrim. The Connaughtman's Rambles, in contrast, is widely known and is one of those rare Irish dance-tunes which have only one title. A bawdy song, Bean ag baint dilisge, is sung to it in Irish. The 'turn' or second part of the tune can be quite dull compared to the first part, but here Neil improves and enlivens it with same tasteful variations. |

| This highly attractive reel is one of Néillidh Mulligan's own compositions. He says of it: 'This was the first tune that I ever composed and I called it after the birthplace of my father - Barnacoola, Co.Leitrim - feeling that it would be an appropriate way of honouring him, who was, and continues to be, the greatest inspiration for my music.' |

| A beautiful love-song which is very adaptable to the uilleann pipes. The air of this song had been lost in Ireland and it was learned by Willie Clancy from an American singer whom he heard at a folk-festival in Warsaw in the late 1950's. |
