Harvey Street Hornpipe (The Hills of Coore) and The Birds Hornpipe and O'Connor's Frolics

from There Were Roses by Mick Moloney, Robbie O'Connell, Jimmy Keane

/

about

Jimmy Keane learned the first hornpipe from the playing of its composer Martin “Junior” Crehan (1908-1998) from Mullagh in County Clare. Not knowing the proper name for his tune was The Hills of Coore at the time of recording, we named it after Mick Moloney’s home on Harvey Street in Philadelphia where many great songs and tunes were sung and played over the years.

The second was learned from the playing of Kerry born concertina player Terry“Cuz” Teahan (1905-1989) who lived in Chicago since the 1920s and was a musical institution in the Midwest.

The last tune, O'Connor's Frolics, was named after the brilliant Galway accordion player Martin O’Connor from whom Jimmy learned it -- it is actually a traditional Québécois reel known as Set American (Set Américain) but Jimmy preferred it as a hornpipe so we played as such on this track.
