Background to St Patrick's Cathdral
This is written by John Sheehan (Dubliners), and was taught by Iain McDonald at Warwick Folk Festival in 2004. Iain wrote it in 2/4 time (I've also left out the grace notes).
I play it as a slowish march.
It's a corking little tune that is quite tricky to pick up by ear.

Sheet music?
does anyone have the sheep music for this tune? i'm going to try to pick up something new, so if anyone has the notes for this, i'd appreciate it.

SImplified
I just noticed I've posted both hands of a rather crude harp arrangement. The ABC is now just the pure tune! Sorry - taking a while top get to grips about this.

Recording
There's a quite nice recording of this tune on the Fiddlers' Bid album Naked And Bare, under the title Christchurch Cathedral. It's a beautiful piece from a great band, and definitely worth checking out.
