about

The Tadgh and Biddy Waltz is a composition of Sliabh Luachra concertina player Terence (Cuz) Teehan, who was once a pupil of the renowned fiddle teacher Padraigh O’Keeffe. Tadgh and Biddy were close neighbours of Cuz before he emmigrated to the U.S.A.in his teens, and I learned the waltz from Chicago fiddle player Tom Dayhill. The second waltz appears to be an old Scots tune, popular among American fiddle players. The title derives from a tributary (the Tombigbee) of the great Mississippi River. I picked up this tune from Glasgow accordion player Aidan Curran, when both of us played at various music sessions in the 1980s in Galway city.
