I love finding humour in the music, so Nuala Kennedy’s experience with a music-hatin’, flute-hatin’ neighbour gave me the opportunity to write this tune. Some of those old, fancy (and frankly diabolical) hornpipes in Cole’s One Thousand Fiddle Tunes came to mind when I chose this tune type. This tune’s particularly annoying second part was just made for Nuala to “throw it back” at the neighbour while he banged the bins.
