cheers for posting this drizzt, I've been meaning to learn it to practice all the akward notes it presents to pipers :-s but haven't had a recording or dots.

After the Irish Spring Tour in Germany with Méabh O' Hare and Conor Byrne I bought their Cd BAVAN, where you can listen to an excellent playing of this tune. I did it a million (?) times. Great stuff!

Fourth bar

I play the fourth bar (and all identical bars) as |f2fe geec|.
The tune is popular in the Borders at the moment.

Though my tendency here was to play it as a single reel without the repeats...
