I wanted to find / add / learn this tune but came up dry. Could someone look over the ABC I've cobbled together to point out errors before I submit this to thesession? I don't understand key structures, so I took a guess on Gmix as it start on G and doesn't sound to have any accidentals.

I think this tune is played by Scottish band Skipinnish on their cd "The Sound of The Summer". Their Myspace page has a track on it called "Schottische and Reels". This tune is the 4th in that set and they have it titled "Co-dhuibh Bhithinn Togarrach". (Roughly translated as "Anyway I'd be Willing")
The tunes in the full set are: Calum Beag / Siomadh Rud a chunnaic Mi / Munlochy Bridge / Co-dhuibh Bhithinn Togarrach / Gobhar As a Chreig / Ruidhle Mo Nigheann Donn

I've got this tune stuck in my head off Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh's album "Réalt na Maidine" which she titles "Port Beul". I don't think this is the actual name as that just means mouth music, so I assume it is Scottish and has a S. Gaelic name.

Thanks for that a Dhonaidh! Always feels better to have a real name for a tune.
Since no one has taken exception to my key choice I'll go ahead and add it as is.
