about

The Floating Island / Patrick Doherty’s Barndance

Danny: The air was written in 2015 as a response to the threat of emigration from Ireland. The barndance is one of those great gentle, wistful South Donegal tunes, which I learned from my sister Helen and the great Dublin-Donegal fiddler Rónán Galvin.

Conor: Danny wrote the first air a few years ago and I remember being dumbstruck when he played it very early one morning in The Highlands Hotel in Glenties. We thought it fitted well with this lovely barndance that, again, I learned from Mick Brown. We gently break the second tune down to try to explore its basic shape.
