ComhaltasLive #200 - 4: Martin Donohoe

Tune(s) / Song(s): The Pockar, Hand Me Down the Tacklings. Notes: A button accordion solo by Martin Donohue featuring a hornpipe which he composed in honour of the tour's Fear a' Tí, the famous singer Séan Ó Sé. One of the many great songs associated with Séan is "An Poc ar Buille" and Martin calls the tune "The Pockar". He follows with a reel very much associated with Co. Fermanagh called "Hand Me Down the Tacklings", sometimes called "The Greenwood Lassies". Incidentally, Martin is also well known as the organiser of the popular [Nyah Festival](/events/detail/nyah_county_cavan_arts_festival_2007/ "Co. Cavan Nyah Festival") currently running in Cavan. Harp accompaniment is by Nadia Markey.
