Mix up of a paddy o brien tune

Mix up of a paddy o brien tune

I recently heard a lovely recording of Eileen Ivers and John Whelan i(I think) playing a set of reels.

The Red Haired Lass
Paddy O Briens
The Scholar

I have the notes for the Red Haired Lass and the Scholar but not for that particular Paddy O Briens.I found the recording in the recording area of The Session and the contents of the album but the link to the Paddy O Briens tune is for a slip jig!!

The others are correct so it is just that one...

Can anyone help as it really was a lovel set and one i would love to learn properly...thanks in advance for any help

Can't find the recording at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those 3 - all are worth learning, anyway.

Re: Mix up of a paddy o brien tune

Reelyconkored, may I suggest that if you want to learn the way Eileen I, & John W play those tunes, then you should just use your ears. If there are bits that you can't pick up, like a sequence of notes, try slowing down software to help you.

The written-down notes may have very little resemblance to the way they play. It certainly won't have their variations in it.

Ears are best.

Good luck.
