About This Song
About "The Wishing Tree / The Retirement Reel / Dearne Valley Reel (Live)" by Mike McGoldrick, John McCusker & John Doyle
Live, the trio turns a wishing tree into a branching melody: reels unfurl with conversational ease, each instrument a limb reaching for light. Applause and room tone add intimacy, but the real tension is between tender nostalgia and the brisk, forward pull of the dance.
