    Russian musicians playing Irish music for Russian set-dancers is not something you see every day! We wanted to tell you our story, so the album features a painstakingly-designed 40-page illustrated booklet, revealing how Polca an Rí came to be, where the journey of playing for the sets has brought us, how we got all these wonderful tunes, and what Irish-Russian musical connections we've forged along the way. It comes in hard cover with fantastical art by Sophie Petkevich.

Jigs: PIPE ON THE HOB / JULIA CLIFFORD’S

Pavel Galushko – bouzouki
Anton Zille – fiddle

The first tune in the set is the mixolydian specimen of the pair of jigs sharing this title, which Tony’s heard played in both Clare and Kerry. It is also one of the mixolydian tunes Pavel likes to play (of which he sure knows many!) The second jig is a mystery tune from an old Julia Clifford tape, a copy of which Julia’s son, flute player Billy Clifford, has generously given to Tony. It comes from a family of jigs sharing the turn of Brian O’Lynn with curiously alternating mode in the first part. A version of this tune appears in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland under the title Petticoat Loose, while Johnny O’Leary recorded it as Con Carthy’s, and every single one of them has a different key signature! Julia seemed to love modal jigs like this one, and her interpretation of it sounds the most original. It is also a nice callback to the quiet tunes with Billy that Tony was lucky to have in Miltown, Killarney and Tipperary. Billy and Catherine’s hospitality will forever stay in his memories!
