N:This is another tune which I first heard on the album Traditional Music From Ireland by Séamus
N:Creagh and Aidan Coffey. There's not a bad track on that album, by the way. The tune was
N:composed by John McGrath, some time in the 1920s or '30s, and it's sometimes called the
N:Rossport Reel, after his birthplace.
O:Rossport, Mayo, Éire
