Two Larks
The original 78 disc had only a single title, "The Lark on the Strand," which led to the second jig being called by that name, as it was on a recording by button accordionist Paddy O'Brien. The tune was later recorded as "The Primrose Vale" by fiddler Paddy Killoran's "Barn Dance Boys," and was published under that name (in a setting from button accordionist Sonny Brogan) in Breandan Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hEireann vol 1. Flute player Michael Walsh served as Michael Coleman's best man at his wedding.
