The Knocknagoshel & Ballydehob Polka

Last time out we were blown away by the beauty of the Down by the Sally Gardens Set. This week we have another treasure for you: The Knocknagoshel Polka followed by the Ballydehob Polka.
There is such an uplifting vibe to these two tunes especially with the sounds of the whistles and flutes, and you'll notice that the tunes really complement each other.
That's Tim from Benalla, Australia, in our thumbnail, who's been entertaining us for many months now. In this video watch out for him playing flute, accordion and whistle! With the added touch of the OAIM hoodie, and that beautiful wooden flute, we thought he was the perfect mascot for this week's set.
So if you're sitting on the fence wondering should you or shouldn't you join this challenge, we'd just like to encourage you to go for it! We have two more wonderful tunes that we are now working on together. They are Castle Kelly's Reel and Sheehan's Reel. Do you know them?
We hope to see you in one of our videos in the future!
