The Castlebar Races

I love this tune: it should be played more at sessions. The only albums I have with it on are Dervish's "Harmony Hill" (as a nameless "jig in G"), and an album by Terry Bingham (as "Tommy People's"). I call it "The Castlebar Races", and it is listed on the JC index as such, but with only the B part transcribed. The version written here is the one played on the Dervish album.

Thanks for the name. I agree, it's a lovely tune. I learnt it from an unknown accordion player I recorded off the radio about 7 years ago.

I learned this off of Dervish as well, though I thought they called it Apples in Winter. Of course it is completely unlike the other (more widely known) Apples in Winter.

I play it slightly differently than Dow's setting, to wit:

K: G
|:G/G/GB d2 d|edB dBA|G/G/GB d2 g|edB AGE|
|G/G/GB d2 d|edB def|gfe dBA|Bee dBA:||
|:g/g/ga bge|f/f/fg afd|g/g/ga bge|edB GBd|
|g/g/ga bge|f/f/fg afd|gbg faf|efg edB:||

You can simplify those triplets in the B part by just playing the first notes as quarters: |g2 a bge|f2 g afd| etc.

Not Apples In Winter

"Apples In Winter" was the 3rd tune in that set on track 1, played in Bm. It's usually in Em and that setting has been posted on this site. The whole set was called "Apples In Winter" after that last tune, but if you look in the inlay there's information about the separate tunes in the set. The first tune in the set was this one in G, which is the "Castlebar Races" (sorry to be pedantic!).

No, Mark, I do appreciate your pedantry, :-) I learned the set without ever seeing the cd or its liner notes, so whoever played it for me gave me the name just based on the name for the whole set. I'm very glad to know it now as Castlebar Races. I had a hunch that Apples in Winter was a miscue, which is why I didn't post it as an alternate name for the tune. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

...And since you haven't got access to the liner notes: Dervish call the second tune in the set "Leitrim Town", originally posted on this site as "The Whinny Hills of Leitrim" - I know you play it because I see you've posted the version you play in the "comments" section!

Great info, thanks Dow!

After several attempts at getting the apostrophe in the wrong place, and pressing the "enter" key by accident, I've finally managed to include the correct alternative name...

Compare this version with another one, which Harry Bradley recorded under the same name: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1205
Hammy Hamilton recorded the one similiar to mine and Harry's as Mist in the Meadow. I think two jigs are defferent enough while they share the similar second part.

This tune and "The Flying Dutchman" in my sense resolve on the 'B', making both tunes B Phrygian...

# Posted on December 12th 2005 by ceolachan

Phrygian my arse -- 'c' you need to start taking your pills again :-)

More correct?

# Posted on October 2nd 2007 by Dow

Maybe it was the pills... ;-)

# Posted on October 2nd 2007 by ceolachan

No matter how much I want more phrygian, you can't make a gill net hold water, unless of course it's frozen... :-/

# Posted on October 2nd 2007 by ceolachan

This jig is listed as The Galway Rambler on Mayo flute player Paul Smyth's solo recording. I thought it's just a simple mistake, but the two tunes in fact sound similar in the first part.
