Curragh Races

This comes from the Bothy Band. Tying in to Danny's discussion about sets, I've one other reel to post and then I'll tell you about what I think was the greatest set of reels never recorded.

Curragh Races

P.S. -I think this is sometimes called "The Maid InThe Cherry Tree".

A slightly different setting is found in O'Neill's. Either way a cracking tune.
