New first tune
I'm still polishing off yesterday's "failure" for resubmission so I thought I'd try something a little less ambitious meantime.
This is an Orkney tune, I believe. It sounds very good before Donegal Lass(Brian Finnegan) and I like to play these two together if I can get away with it.

Grahamsey
I don't know of any island in Orkney called "Grounsey", but there is "Grahamsay". That's the tune's name - it has been recorded by "The Boys Of The Lough". A nice jig, but please change the name!

Re title
That's the folk process for you. I learned this by ear at a workshop "thingy" a few years ago. We were definitely informed that it was "Grounsey jig". Wherever the tutor learned it, I don't know. It might even have been from an Orcadian and he picked the name up wrong.
You'll be right enough, though, Kenny. I'll change it.

This comes from an Orcadian!
It is actually spelt Graemsay.
