Great tune!

Lunasa does a great job on this tune in B minor together with Terry "Cuz" Teahan's. It's also nice to play this tune in both keys in a row.

Pat, I posted the above bit of info into the McGoldrick tune Road to Corrandulla - hope you don't mind me using your info.

Funnily enough, he doesn't play fiddle or flute in the East Galway style.

Thoughts

I've been meaning to learn this tune. Franky plays this tune in d minor on the recording I have. Joanie madden plays it in b minor as noted above, so does Lunasa. Sounds pretty nice in A minor and g minor too.
