A little tough

This tune is a little tough to play, but very well worth it. It's not the most popular of Redican's tunes, but I think it was his best.

I was playing this tune last night & comparing it to a recording I have of Martin Wynn playing this tune. I realised that I was playing the first bar of the B part was different so I updated it to MArtin Wynn's version.

I was just bumbling through JC's tunefinder for "Cronin's Hornpipe" & came across this Redican tune - low & behold it's the same one. It's also known as "Forget Me Not" & "Gerry Cronins". so there you have it.

Crehan's

I got this from a Davey McNevin years ago and it was called Crehan's and played in D.

Dubliner's version

Check out YouTube, keywords "Dubliners, Irish Washerwoman" This is the first tune John and Eamonn in a three tune set. Lovely.
