Of particular note is track 7, “Cath Chnoc na nDos”. This is Éanna’s rendition of “Allis- drum’s March” in the version that Canon Good- man noted from tradition, probably from the piper Tom Kennedy. A full transcription of this version of the piece can be found in Hugh Shields’ Tunes of the Munster Pipers. 1 Court dances: Aréir as Mé ag Machdnamh air Bheartaigh an t-Saoghail, B'fhearr Leigean Dóibh / The Wounded Hussar 2 Air: The Rocks of Bán 3 Reels: The Lady's Cup of Tea / The Gal- way Reel / The Top of the Cliff T HE ROOKERY is a collection of (mostly) duet recordings, on pipes and fiddle, from Em- mett Gill and Jesse Smith.
