DISCOGRAPHY

 
THE BALLAD OF THE IRISH HORSE (CLADDAGH 1986)
 
 
Paddy had been commissioned to write the score of a National Geographic special on Irish horses, and began to jot down his inspiration for the score while on the US tour in 1984. There was 52 music sequences involved, and it took Moloney almost a year to compose.
