An "Unofficial" Title

You may hear this tune referred to as "The Trip to Bangor" by 40-something musicians from the north of Ireland because of it's melodic similarity to the song of the same name. Learned from Gary Hastings and Ciaran Curran, I haven't heard or played this tune for years.

Nice tune. It sounds nice to play the G as a G# in the 6th and 10th bar of rhe B part.
