From Liz Carroll's newest album with John Doyle, called In Play. This is one of her own compositions, I believe, as are most of the other tunes on that album. This tune was on the requests list recently.

Liner Notes

The liner notes say "The first jig is in the book "The Northern Fiddler" and was contributed by fiddler John Loughran."

Octaves

I noticed that Liz moves up an octave on the repeated B part of the second time through the tune and stays up there for the rest of the set. I'll try posting that part asap.
