I heard these lovely highlands from an archive recording of the late Micky Doherty of the famous Donegal fiddling clan. The reel I composed many years ago for my band members in Altan. It was Tim Edey’s idea to put the reel with these highlands….thanks to Tim and Jim for the brilliant session in Budapest and for coming to record with me in Donegal!

Chuala mé an chead dhá highland ó sean taifeadadh de chuid Micky Doherty. Chum me an ríl The Red Crow do mo chuid cairde agus comh cheoltóirí sa banna Altan.

Mairéad – Fiddle
