Polka Set

Celtic Wings

The Polka is thought to have originated in eastern europe by the Czechs. The people of west kerry in Ireland took the polka into their heart and are renowned for their own polkas. The two polkas in this recording are known to me as “John Ryans” and “Egans” Polka aka “Kerry Polka” Film buffs may recognise John Ryans Polka from the blockbuster film “Titanic” Used in the scene when the Irish were having a “hooley” below decks.
