This tune is played in sessions in my area (Bristol UK), and someone kindly gave me a transcription some months ago. I believe it was composed by Brendan O'Regan. I think this tune is one of those reels that benefits from not being played too fast.

Of Guitar interest
If you want to play this the way Donogh Hennessy plays it with Lunasa on the guitar, he capos the guitar on the 7th fret and then plays it in double dropped D. It is actually easier to play in just plain (single) dropped D. Bear in mind that not all guitars sound all that great when capo'd up that high.
Cheers

Autumn Child - Last Night's Fun version
Trevor J says 'I think this tune is one of those reels that benefits from not being played too fast.' - quite right - do listen to the version on Last Night's Fun's CD "Tempered" where it's taken REALLY slowly, to great effect

Does anyone know the version of this that is on the album "Spirit" by Dervish?
