Bar two trouble

bar two of a and b parts have a weirdness. Is there meant to be a triplet in there?

Reply to Bar two trouble

Hmmm...yes, there DOES seem to be a problem there. Yes, there is supposed to be a grace note in there, the second note in each group, to be exact. Thank you for the notification.

Is it me...

or is this a different "lad o'beirne's" than the one sharon shannon and patrick street do? I'd REALLY love to learn that one, it's a gorgeous reel!

Sorry...

Apologies - got confused about which recording we're talking about. Jeff is right.
Too many tunes called "Lad O'Beirne's" [ but they're all good ones . ]

Lad O'Beirn's (sic)

This is the tune that is spelt Lad O'Beirn's on the Inishbofin Ceili Band album. I had posted it as spelt on the CD cover and wondered why there wasn't a hyperlink - not sure whether this counts as an alternate name or should I change the track listing to suit.
It probably helps to distinguish it from the other tunes of the same name though!

Cferrie...
It's best to leave track listings for CDs as written on the CD cover, and add alternate names in the tunes database for those tunes that are listed in the database with a different spelling. I've added "Lad O'Beirn's" as an alternate name, and now you'll find the hyperlink is established for the recording by the Inishbofin Ceili Band.
Cheers

Different key

I learned this one in A from Eleanor Neary and Liz Carroll at a living room session.
