The Marino Waltz

I was taught this lovely relaxing waltz tune a couple of weeks ago. I believe it has been recorded by The Dubliners.

The Marino Waltz

The Marino Waltz, according to a Google search, has been recorded not only by The Dubliners, but by The Chieftains, The Pogues, and, presumably, many others.
This tune is not to be confused with "Marino Casino", an entirely different tune written by and recorded by The Dubliners on their 40th Anniversary DVD.

The Dubliner's recording is on their "Celebration" album.

A further comment I feel I should make is that there is one version of this tune on JC's database which is quite incorrectly transcribed in 6/8 (jig time!) - each bar of the 6/8 corresponding to 2 bars of the correct 3/4 waltz time.

Wasn't this the tune used in the 'Bord na Mona' ads on telly years ago.
Wow it brings back memories. I love this tune.

John Shehan composed this while in his mother's house in Marino, I believe. That's how he got the name for it. I think he's from the Marino area himself.

Marino Waltz

Composed by John Sheehan of the Dubliners and if I remember right he first played it in on the Late Late Show in the late eighties when the Dubliners were celebrating 25 years. The Irish Turf (Peat) Board used it in their advert on TV selling Briquettes (compressed peat) and the rest is history, and yes he did write it in Marino in Dublin.
