This waltz is a piece of music Conor learned from good friend and mentor, Derek Hickey from Adare, Co. Limerick. Derek learned it from the playing of the virtuoso accordion player, Finbarr Dwyer of Castletownbere, Co. Cork. The Light of the moon is a barndance Conor learned from fellow Sliabh Luachra legend, Jackie Daly of Kanturk, Co. Cork who has been, and continues to be, a big influence on all four of the lad’s music.
