Having a bit of trouble interpreting your timing, but is it the Shetland tune "Willafjord"?

That's my best guess anyway. Cheers

"The Blackbird"?

It's Sharron Shannon's Blackbird, not to be confused with other tunes of the same name, such as the set dance http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1104

I think this what you're after
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/952
It's the 2nd in a Sharon Shannon SET called the Blackbird. The 1st in the set is O'Keefe's: you'll find both on
http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/2782
and on other SS recordings

Re: A Tune Find Please THX,,

Just to add to the confusion, the links go to the wrong O'Keeffe's
The one on the SharonS CD should be

Glag to nail it down.
Don't know about you, but this is one tune where I find it easier to get the intonation right if I slip up to 3rd position for the B-part

Glad

Re: A Tune Find Please THX,,

Definitely Willafjord. We play it all the time - in addition to the Blackbird - a completely different tune.
