The programme concludes with a presentation to Peig Ryan by Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú, Director-General of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, in recognition of Peig’s lifetime of preserving and promoting Irish musical traditions and influencing so many others in music-making. Many tributes were also made to Peig’s late husband Mick, fondly remembered for his contribution to singing and set dancing in particular.
The Chairman of the concert organising committee was Tómas Ó Maoldomhnaigh, Peig’s nephew and Árdrúnaí of Comhaltas. Tómas is also a member of the Cappamore/Murroe Seisiún Group and father of banjo player Marcus.

- This first reel has long been a favourite of melodeon players, each of them finding it gave them the scope to explore the potential of their instrument. The final reel of the album,‘Bonnie Kate’, recorded with Jenny’s Chickens by Coleman in 1934, is one of the all-time favourites in the traditional repertoire.
