i know this tune as the flying dutchman. im not too sure exactly where i got that from but it could be some fiddle tutor or something. i think that it is the tune paddy keenan calls the lost and found in a set which then goes into the hag at the churn and something about wind i cant quite remember.
anyhow it is a very good tune.
i usually play it after up sligo or at the end of a set

Castlebar Races
This is an odd setting of Castlebar Races, already posted by Dow at http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1160

The Dutchman had been down the "coffee shop" again.

I know, I'm repeating myself, but hey, a Phrygian tune ~ in this case B Phrygian, along with "The Castelbar Races". I hope this isn't early signs of madness and I'm hearing things...
