Track 10 : Slip Jigs

Na Ceannabháin Bhána, Hardiman the Fiddler

Seamus Ennis had a story of a lullaby he collected in Connemara that was sung by a woman dandling two children: Mici and Maire, 'they are the Fairhaired Cannavans'. He played the tune as a slip jig. Tommy McCarthy again was Kitty's source for the tune.
