about

11. Polkas - Tralee Gaol / Din Tarrant’s / Loughran's
Polcaí - Príosún Thrá Lí / Polca Din Tarrant / Polca Uí Lochráin
When Antóin was working on An Fleadh Nua in Croke Park (1970/71), one of the Strawboy Groups from Cork played these two polkas in rehearsal all day and they were stuck in his head by evening. He learned the third from Tyrone fiddler John Loughran but has not been able to find a name for it, so we call it after the man himself.
