The Butcher's March

Pat O'Connor has chimed in recently on several threads, after frisbee (if I'm not mistaken) mentioned him as a fiddler who ought to be more widely known for his wonderful playing. Couldn't agree more. So I looked up some clips on YouTube of him playing a house concert with Claire Keville (on concertina) and found this lovely setting of The Butcher's March. They pair it with an equally tasty setting of Hag at the Churn (starting with Hag and going into Butcher's).

Watch the clip at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujt_R8hcsB0
