Not sure if this one is Ador or Dmix, since it starts in Ador and either ends in Dmix or resolves to the 5th in Ador? I went ahead and put Ador as a guess based on the overall tonality. As there are already a couple of tunes named 'The Holly Bush' on this site, we'll see if the powers that be allow it to stay as such! Again, any background to any of these would be welcome.

Ack, didn't see that coming. This linked with a bunch of recordings that I'm not sure are the same tune or not (this being different from what was already here by that name). Maybe should have put it in as 'The Holly Bush No2' or some such thing?

Learned the tune recently from Kevin Crawford as well, but apart from the same key it's totally different to this one.
