about

Maud Millar’s – trad.
The Lively Wagtail– Marcus Hernon
The Lost Drawstring - Robert Hillman

Hilary learnt the second tune from an album called ‘Rabharta’ (2002) by Marcus and PJ Hernon. It is by Marcus and became a favourite after Hilary was given the album while staying with the Hernon family in Carna, Co Galway back in 2006. The final tune, ‘The Lost Drawstring’, is by Rob. The lost jumper drawstring belonged to Rob - you can ask Cameron about that!
