- Tom Ward’s Downfall/The Ireland We Knew
- 5 December 2006
- ‘Tom Ward’s Downfall’ has been part of ‘core’ traditional repertoire since the legendary South Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman recorded it in April 1922. The second reel was composed by Ed Reavy (1898-1988), the fiddler and composer who emigrated from Cavan to the U.S. in 1912 and settled in Philadelphia.
