“There is a step called the Salmon's leap...”
There is a step called Salmon's leap
They say tis hard to learn
And no one had it as good
As Johnny Hughes and Bernard.
Johnny Foley travelled through the surrounding counties teaching his step dancing. He is still remembered and he died an old man and was buried in the Catholic Graveyard in Scrabby, Co Cavan.
