Jenny Picking Cockles
from Irish Flute Tunes Hosted by Michael Clarkson
Here's a great reel which I'd probably associate most with Willie Clancy. It's on one of the "Pipering of Willie Clancy" records which Claddagh Records published some years ago. Between picking cockles, welcoming Charlie, tying bonnets, Danging weavers, getting clinkings coming home from the races and all the other activities she's recorded in tune names as having been involved in, its a wonder she had time to blink (I don't remember there being a tune called "Jenny's Blink", so maybe she hadn't). Anyway, I hope this tune is of use to someone who is a tad less busy and without a Jenny-esque social calendar.
