The Skibbereen Lasses

Another Great tune from O'Neils, a little similar to eel in the sink, but different. A tune worth learning, I heard an old student of mine, Nick Martin playing it.

I believe this is a single reel.

As transcribed, it is Amix, but in O'Neill's the "g"s aren't natural, so it is Amaj in the book:

O'Neill's isn't some sort of bible, nothing about it is definitive, though you may well be right, though with the flattened 7ths this is how it's played in Scotland on Highland pipes.
