The Rose In The Heather

May 13th, 2007 at 11:15 am (traditional irish flute, irish flute)

rosesandheather.jpg Here's a very popular jig. It's a nice tune which is good on the flute. I think I heard a good recording once of the Leitrim flute player Packie Duignan playing it on a record which was made of him and Seamus Horan.

    I hope this doesn’t sound harsh but Packie was atually from Co. Roscommon. The recording was made in Leitrim..

    Thanks Caitríona. The only time I ever met him was in Drumshanbo and I thought that that was where he came from. Now I know he was from Arigna. Thanks for putting me right. I’ve been wrong about this for the last 20 years - and about a pile of other things too, I’m sure.

    Go raibh maith agat arís.

    Sorry about that. Also confusion may have arisen because the name of the album is called ‘Music from Co. Leitrim’. not quite sure why that was though..anyway, thats all I know!

    Is that record still available? I haven’t heard it for years and my copy is long lost. I think I probably wore the record player out with it before I lost it. As far as I remember Robin Morton produced it ???? I wonder if had he driven them down to Kerry, would he have given it that county’s name.

    Yes Robert Morton produced it. I’m not to sure whether you an still get it or not..There were tracks taken of it and put on a cd ‘Irish Traditional Music’, but there’s only about nine tracks on that. The recording was made in Tawnylea, Co. Leitrim and I guess Packie had strong Leitrim connections. Obviously Seamus was from Leitrim as well..who knows!!
