Track 8 Kitty's Fancy & St Ann's Mazurka
Irish traditional. Dave Gittus: button accordion; Julie Gittus: fiddle; Ian White: banjo
Ian learnt this traditional Irish tune as Kitty's Fancy. It's sometimes known as Tommy People's mazurka or John Doherty's mazurka. Dave paired it up with another traditional Irish mazurka, St Ann's, which he learnt from the Simon Melia, CD: Last Night's Fun. Simon was an accomplished Australian box player with a passion for Irish tunes. The set finishes with a reprise of Kitty's Fancy.
