Packie Russell – Give The Girl Her Fourpence

Packie Russell - Give The Girl Her Fourpence

About

This is track 8 from the B-side of “The Russell Family”, the original LP published in 1975 by Topic Records. The slieve notes from the LP read the following:

Give The Girl Her Fourpence (reel) played by Pakie Russell (concertina). Here Pakie plays one of his favourite reels and demonstrates the capacity of his concertina to give adequate expression to Irish dance music. This tune, an excellent example of a reel, deserves wider popularity.

Slieve notes by Muiris Ó Rócháin.

Sincere thanks to Neil Wayne of Topic Records for allowing us to publish this track and to Bill Crossland for all his help.
