Weird Tune ID

The 4 bars of each part should be enough:

X: 1
T: How strange this tune is
L: 1/8
M: 4/4

I picked it up on a Danu recording with no sleeve.
But I heard it before, can't remember where...

Re: Weird Tune ID

Have you tried looking in the Recordings section for that Danu album, which would have a track listing?

Re: Weird Tune ID

That second on appears to be Michael Dwyer's Favourite http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1881

or maybe

http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/book/oneills/1850/X/1237_to.abc

That seems to be from a "family" of tunes that almost have identical A parts

Re: Weird Tune ID

That second *one*... argh

Re: Weird Tune ID

I'm wondering if it's not also played by paul Bradley on his 'Atlantic Roar'... but I wouldn't swear. Thanks anyway for help, Rev.

Re: Weird Tune ID

I have a recording of them playing this - Donegal reel, almost certainly, but I'd have to look for it.
