Nell O'Sullivan's (slide)
This tune was taught by Pete Cooper at workshop in Bristol last week. The tune is the first of two tunes used in a set for a dance called the Lancers. Pete Cooper's source was Matt Cranitch and his band Sliabh Notes. The second tune in the set, which I shall post soon, is The Gullane Polka (which is not the same tune as the one already posted on this website).
Here is a more detailed ABC of "Nell O'Sullivan's" including ornaments and bowings (for the fiddles) as used by Pete Cooper. The ABC code for bowings is that all notes on one bow are enclosed in parentheses ( ), and a downbow is indicated by "u" and an upbow by "v".
