I remember a Ballyshannon Folk Festival in the 80s where De Danann played that kind of irish american songs (like here with Maura O'Connell) and the native did like it very much, but the people from the continent were horrified by the sweetness of that kinf of songs - maybe not our taste of celtic music.
My memory might be playing tricks, but I think it was this, only they played it in A. What you should have done was type in "Wedding", and "jigs" in the tune category. that would have narrowed it down to 11.
Yeah, that (in A) would be the standard "Kitty's Wedding" that comes before "The Rambler", anyway. James Morrison and Andy McGann both recorded that set.
Funny, I had no idea it was AKA "Ships in Full Sail".
All these tunes (plus 'The Teetotaler/St.Annes' and 'Then You'll Remember Me') can also be found (in different order) on the Celtic Collections 'De Danann' CD (1997)

Kitty's wedding jig with de danann?
On de danann recording "star spangled molly" they are playing a jig set Kitty's wedding/The rambler.
When I try to find the sheets I come to the well known hornpipe with the same name. (Kitty's wedding)
Anyone know where the sheets for this jig are available?
