The Roscrea Triangle / Air Miles on the Irish Ferry
Picture the scene....we knew there was a castle around here somwhere, but we were lost in the Slieve Bloom Mountains. Suddenly there was a road sign - only which way to go? Left or right - they both pointed to Roscrea. Chris thought this was worth a tune! Bet you didn't know that you can use your Air Miles on the Irish Ferry! Kate reckons this is a lullaby commemorating the fact that we always sleep through the crossing!

Rathawaun / Clare Jig / Declan's Dilemma
Two of our favourite Irish “riddly-diddlies” are matched with Chris' tune dedicated to one of our favourite Irishmen - Declan Coyne. You'll have to ask him whether his dilemma was ever resolved!

Nyth Y Gwcw / Nyth Y Gog
Two tunes - one name! Both celebrate the Welsh obsession with cuckoos but we won't talk about it in polite company.

Kilcoy's March / Dick Gossip's Reel / Cwmcarn Capers
We're great fans of the Battlefield Band who we first heard playing these traditional tunes. The last tune was written during a session at Cwmcarn Forest Drive in between performing to packs of Brownies and warming ourselves around a barbecue.
