Slide for Caomhin
Written by Peadar O'Riada, this is the tune as taught by Brendan Begley to my box class at Willie Clancy Week 2010.
Can anyone confirm that this was written recently?

Thanks for the link Dont. The version I've posted seems to have some significant variations from the pdf you can get from Peadar Ó Riada's site, and it does look like a recent composition.

Take care to stress the off beats in the 1st part: you could easily end up playing a march...
