there is another tune of the same name..composed by also by Josie Mc Dermott played by Altan as the 4th tune of a set ( The curlew...) on Horse with no name..As the name is not mentioned on the record notes but only on Norbeck and JC ABC tune finder .is it a mistake and is this the real one? so?

Landowne Lass

Paul95 - see "Gan Ainm", and discussion "Seeking Help Identifying Tunes" both posted 19th Nov. My last 3 words were deliberate. Norbeck is not infallible. You can believe me, John Wynne and "Deanta" or not - it's up to you.

Lansdowne Lass

Kenny, thanks for posting this. Deanta is one of my all-time favorite Irish bands. Although they play Lansdowne Lass pretty slow it sounds quite nice as a faster tune tune. I learned the tune this weekend.

...which begs the question - What is the other tune that I posted in the comments section of
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2172 , which appears in Adrian Scahill's collection as The Lan(d)sdowne Lass?
