Queen of the Faeries Item Info
- Title:
- Queen of the Faeries
- Sound Cloud:
- Description:
- I learned this set dance from the playing of Larry Redican. Its first few measures seem to be related to the melody of an old tune – also a set dance – called 'The King of the Fairies'. And so, 'here's me' (an old Irish expression) playing 'Queen of the Faeries'.
