about

The Maids of Mitchelstown (tune no. 1410 in O’Neills Music of Ireland, published 1903) is a beautiful steady old reel. Barkers Maggot (an English 3/2 Hornpipe) came to us from the great John Spiers ( Spiers & Boden /Bellowhead) who kindly posted us a copy of John of the Green, The Cheshire Way which is full of great old tunes. We thought the two tunes had something in common, so we paired them up!
