Someone in my circle learnt this tune from Paul Brady's 'Welcome Here Kind Stranger' album 25 years ago. We have played it in sessions over that time. I have transcribed it as we play it, which may well mean the tune has metamorphised since it was written by Brady. I don't own a copy of that album (pity).

...and, presumably, it's not a barn dance.

Barndance?
No, its not a barn dance. I don't know that its anything. Its a ruchinitsa some ofthe time. If Smeceno Horo is a hora, then I suppose this is a horo. But there isn't a horo category. So its a barndance, the closest thing I know to Miscellaneous in teh available dance type list!

Not correct
This tune was written by Paul Brady, I'm afraid your version is not exactly right, some major differences on the recording, I don't know how to notate abc so I can't type in the corrections, but just have to let you know this is not right. I think it is on the Liberty Tapes as well.

Tunes change
Frisbee, if you read the original comment, Neil clearly states "I have transcribed it as we play it, which may well mean the tune has metamorphised since it was written by Brady."

I did notice that Mr Jeremy Sir, my point was to confirm to him that the tune is actually quite different. Is it not important for people to know if they are playing something wrong? I know wrong and right have little meaning with a lot of tunes due to the fact that there are many different versions of different tunes, but this is a tune Brady wrote so if they are playing it wrong it would clearly be helpful to them and everyone in thesession.org to know that if they learn the tune like this it will not match up when Paul Brady walks into their seisiún one night asking 'Hey does anyone else know that tune I wrote........?!

Write and wrong
This question of right and wrong is interesting. I don't have a copy of the original recording. If I did, I would transcribe it and put it here on the site. When does a tune become traditional? Every tune has an author. Its just that the author is forgotten and it becomes part of a tradition without attribution. In this case, the author is still alive. There was a bit of a debate on this in the Smeceno Horo comments. What is the correct version of that tune? Most people would have said a few years ago the original planxty version. Then later versions with Andy Irvine and friends were different, correcting 'mistakes'. Andy made in transcribing from the Balkantone record. But the mistakes are now part of the tradition. And listening to the original, I have to say I don't find it nearly as exciting. Then there is Mominsko Horo, which Andy describes as 'an early attempt to remember a Balkan tune'. Its clearly not the original tune. Its not that recognisably Balkan, except for the time signatures.
So, if you are accompanying my friends, the correct version is above. If you were lucky enough to have Paul Brady walk in, I suspect a different version would be appropriate. If I was there, i'd put my instrument down anyway and bore the man to death by asking for Arthur McBride as a solo ....... But I would be happy.
