Knocknagow medley?
|
| |
Does anyone know the tune starting the "Knocknagow" medley on the recording _Rendezvous_ by Celtic Fiddle Festival? Kevin Burke plays it, but I believe Knocknagow itself (a four part jig) doesn't begin until the first jig ends.

Who is your favourite voice?
Mine is Sarah McLachlan who will release a new pop CD
in 2012 and tour it (I hope) in summer 2012. But I
hope she can be persuaded to do a folk CD as a side
project after that. (She has collaborated with
The Chieftains before.)
