The Kilcummin (slide)

I picked this tune up from the Four Men and a Dog album 'Barking Mad'. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the tune other than that it's traditional.

Johnny O'Leary heard it from Mick Mahony of Kilcummin, a part of Sliabh Luachra that, he says, produces most of the slides and polkas.

There are several Kilcummin in Ireland, the one here might be the one north east of Killarney
