Els' Barndance
First learnt from my mother Rose O'Connor (Dundalk Co Louth), forgotten and heard again a year or 2 ago by the band "AT the Racket" I think. It had no name but since my partner Els Jongejans liked it enough to actually learn it on the mandolin (first had to learn to play !!) I felt it must bear her name. Peter

This tune is also known in the Major keys of A & D... I've chosen to give it here in the same key as the original transcription. I know this wasn't that rare a tune, but I haven't yet been able to dig out a name for it... I'm still looking...
