Atlantic bridge (main theme by Davy Spillane)
Why not to submit this famous tune by Davy Spillane! What I transcribed is just the main theme, then many improvised blues variations can be added to it.

The tunes in atlantic bridge
what's the name of the reel that comes after this? And please, can I not have a load of people saying, 'you don't need to know the name', or 'just learn it by ear' - I'm curious. Also it's for a write up for my dissertation.

From memory.....
It may have been "Tom Ward's Downfall", but it's many years since I heard this recording.
