I love the first tune, Swallow’s Tail. Is it the same Swallow’s Tail that’s in Fionn Book 2? It sounds very different. Padriag Rynne plays a tune called Swallow’s Tail on his CD ‘Bye a While’ which closely resembles the tune played here by Clodagh. Can anyone enlighten me? Are there two Swallow’s Tails?

Same question: What is the source for the Swallowtail played here? Thank you! Great site!
I enjoyed the music greatly; the musicians are very disciplined and skilled. Congratulations and keep up the learning and performing.
People like me who are far from home- I live in Saskatoon, Canada- feel very privileged to be able to listen in on the fruits of much work by parents, musicians, music teachers and of course the work of volunteers.
