Reels - The Exile of Erin
Dianna playing the reel The Exile of Erin a composition of banjo player Tony Sullivan, who stated, "The Exile of Erin is the name of a pub which used to exist in Collyhurst, Manchester before the town planners decided to make some "improvements" by demolishing one of the best music pubs in the world. Small and cosy, unlimited licensing hours and unlimited music. It became a regular port of call for visiting musicians and was the scene of the greatest of sessions - just ask Joe Burke about it. The Exile of Erin was knocked down in 1975."
