Another great tune from Andy Morrow and Tony O'Connell. They play it in Bb so I have transposed down to A coz I have yet to learn to play in Bb on my little concertina. According to the CD cover it is a John Martin Tune picked up via a circuitous route from the playing of Tom McElvogue. A fun tune to play.

Jamie, I played this tune to you at the session on Tuesday and you claimed you didn't know it! Is my playing really that bad that you didn't recognise it? :-)

3 years have passed, maybe you're playing has, like a fine wine layed down to mature, turned to vinegar... 8-)

Or the bottle has exploded and spewed its ingredients all over the place...

Correction

I seem to have too many bars in the repeat of the second part. It should read:

2nd time through the B section the 4th bar is played a bit differently: |BAAG Aded|
It was just a matter of expediency or laziness that I didn't write it out fully....
