Mastered at Sonas Studios, Killarney. Notes on the tunes... 1. "Wild Irishmen" (Jig & Reels): Second jig is called "The Rakes Of Clonmel". The reel is well known traditional tune the "Wild Irishman". 2. "Gasoline Alley": Instrumental version of the song. 3. "Here Comes The Sun": Instrumental version of the Beatles song shaped into a hornpipe and reel. 6. "The Diamond Collection" (Barndances): From Joe Diamond's collection of '78 recordings. 8. "G Minor Reel": Tune known as both "Dream Of Home" and "Maid In The Meadow". 9. "Bluesy Jigs": Comprises two slip jigs entitled "Red Haire Mary" or "Máire Rua" and "Hardiman The Fiddler". 10.
