Can anyone out there tell me the title of the jig used in the waterboys song "A Man Is In Love" off of the "Room To Roam" album? I think that it is perhaps Sharon Shannon who plays box on it. It's a great tune and I would love to get a hold of the dots. Recently, I heard a ceilidh band play it on BBC Scotland's "take the floor" radio programme, so it can't be all that uncommon. Cheers Clashma.

If you've got the recording, what do you want the dots for?

PK - I had a peek at your link - loved the comment on the youtube which read:
"ihave the sheet music but it differs from this version.. if you dont mind could you send me this version?? i would love it."
I'm sorely tempted to direct the request to Edinburgh.
