McBide's

Sorry I'm new, might be doing something wrong. I know this tune from Leahy. Can't vouch completely for it, but it sounds fairly right. Feedback welcome.

McBride's

Surprised no-one’s pointed out that “McBride’s” is from the 1st “Moving Hearts” album recorded in 1981. Amazing interplay between Davy Spillane’s uilleann pipes and Keith Donald’s saxophone.
Did “Leahy” not give them any credit for it ?

Yes, Indeed. Leahy Gave credit to this song...

From the inside cover...

[then the group leaves a comment about the song]
This piece comes from a deadly Irish band of teh early '80's, Moving Hearts.


There you have it folks.

oops... spelling mistake...

Just checking back on this tune, I noticed that the key sig. should be B minor, instead of E minor. The notes that are transcribed are good though. Thanks for the tune.

wait... my bad. it's Eminor.. something just doesn't seem right though... maybe it's just me.

I've heard both band's versions of this tune, two by Moving Hearts and the Leahy version. Have to say that I preferred the latter, but it might be because I'm biased as a violinist...

Moving Hearts composition is more 'jazzed up' compared to Leahy's simple repetiton.

"I know this tune from Leahy. Can't vouch completely for it, but it sounds fairly right. Feedback welcome."

Here's my feedback: nice cut & paste job from Henrik Norbeck's online tune index. You're right, you can't vouch completely for it, and yes, it sounds fairly right because it was transcribed by Henrik Norbeck.

Awesome tune!

Yes!!! Music to McBrides!! I tried to learn it off of the Leahy album but couldn't quite pick it up.

This is such a cool tune.
