"The Abbey Leix, which Declan learned from Cork fiddle player, Carol Leader, is one of over 250 tunes composed by the late Sean Ryan (fiddler) from Nenagh, Co Tipperary and features in a book of his works titled, 'The Hidden Ireland' and published by Brian Ryan. Brian Mc Neil is the composer of the second tune and Declan heard it first played by Sligo multi-instrumentalist, Seamus O Dowd. The last tune of this set is a composition of Paul StewartCranford a fiddle player from Toronto, Canada and Declan learned this one from fiddle player, Geraldine Clancy from Miltown Malbay, Co Clare."
