Peter Byrne's

Haven't heard this played very often. From the playing of Finbar Furey. Recorded by Arty McGlynn and I think, "Moving Hearts".

It's the second last jig in The Storm, on the Moving Hearts LP The Storm, funny enough.

Kenny, I'm a bit puzzled by your transcription. I just did this transcription from Arty McGlynn's recording, and the barlines are in different places.

Finbar

I listened to Finbar's recording and stand by that transcription. I've been meaning to get in touch to send you a few CDs, and also to "bb", who I missed on the latest trip. PM me your address, and I'll be in touch. I can send a recording of Finbar's playing of the tune and you can see what you think. All the best.
