Laurence Nugent in his first album plays this fling after the one I posted in February: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1394

In my opinion are both two lovely tunes.

The Four Province Fling NO.?

A variant of "The Rose amang the Heather"? http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2986

NO! ~ I mean YES!

You beat me to it. I needed my beauty sleep...

I've given another couple of 16 bar takes on the melody under the comments for "The Rose"...
