Andy Dickson
Reels - Charlie Lennon's Nos. 1 & 2
Andy Dickson (fiddle), Dermy Diamond (banjo), Tara Bingham (flute) and Gerry McCartney (banjo mandolin) play two reels composed by Charlie Lennon, accompanied by Eugene "Spooly" Kelly (guitar) and Sammy Weir (bodhran). Andy calls the reels Charlie Lennon's Nos 1 & 2, however the second tune is usually referred to as Charlie Lennon's No 4. I have heard Charlie and his brother Ben refer to it as Rose McKenna's as Charlie had forgotten it until Rose reminded him of it. The first is better known as McDonagh's, named after the fiddle and flute playing brothers from Riverstown, County Sligo. Recorded c. 1976.
