| '''AROUND THE HOUSE AND MIND THE DRESSER'''. Irish, Slide (12/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Ciaran Carson references the title in his book '''Last Night’s Fun''' (1996), in regards to his observations on the spatial changes a room undergoes during a ceili:

| <blockquote> | |
| When a ceili is made the dimensions of the room change subtly as the
| |
| talk includes some news of the outside world. Music starts up, and the
| |
| dimensions alter once again as dancers take the floor and those not
| |
| dancing make space and squeeze up against each other, backs to the
| |
| wall. ‘Around the House and Mind the Dresser’. The room seems to
| |
| expand or contract in Tardis-like defiance of the laws of time and space. (pg. 114)
| |
| </blockquote> | |
| House dances, popular in the years before the move to dance-halls in Ireland, were held in the central room of a cottage—the kitchen. Table, chairs, benches and other pieces of furniture were moved to the walls, leaving room for a set in the middle. Donal Hickey, in his book '''Stone Mad for Music''' (1999), recalls a time that Sliabh Luachra musicians Pádraig O’Keeffe and Paddy Cronin played a house dance in Cordal. The hostess, noting her rather cramped quarters and seeking to conserve space for dancing, asked the pair to mount chairs set on the top of a table and play there. “Christ, Paddy,” said O’Keeffe, “we’ll g’up in the gallery”—and there they played.
