I was checking out thesession.org and saw someone comment that Kevin Crawford only recorded the first two of four of Christy Barry's jigs. Is this true? And if so, can someone tell me where to find notes or recordings of the second two tunes in the set?

As I understand, there are two more, though I don't have them. A friend is working on them, though; when I see him tomorrow I'll ask him about his source. John Williams, maybe?

Why not purchase the CD and learn the set from the man himself?Danner wrote:I was checking out thesession.org and saw someone comment that Kevin Crawford only recorded the first two of four of Christy Barry's jigs.

What are those two jigs? The two jigs he plays after his two known jigs are the Connemara jigs, are they his?

Re: Christy Barry's 3 and 4?
Christy Barry's 1 & 2 are a popular set here, too. But I'd always overlooked the second two.
#1 - Christy Barry's #1 / Sean Coughlin's (#2)
#2 - The Butlers of Glen Avenue / Sully's Fancy / Sean Coughlin's
#3 - The Stolen Purse. Variant setting of Lark on the Strand. The album has it as Gan Ainm.
#4 - Dominic Rooney's / The Clare Lark / The Old Lark in the Morning. Apparently a well-known Clare/Connemara setting of Lark in the AM, and not penned by Christy.
3 & 4 are grouped as "The Connemara Jigs" on the album. All 4 tunes are on both TheSession and Fiddler's Companion.
Christy Barry's setting of #3 is closer to the FC (O'Neill's Waifs & Strays) than to TheSession, but it's different from both. Note that it's also played single.
