Two polkas from the Sliabh Luachra area of Ireland which I learned from a recording by the group Planxty. Denis Murphy - known as "Denis the Waiver" - was a celebrated fiddler and student of the legendary Padraig O'Keeffe, but I don't know who John Ryan was.

This set and other tunes played at Scottish Sessions can be found in The Scottish Slow Session Volume 2, available from my Online Store.
