This is pretty much how Larry Nugent plays it on his second album, two for two. great e dorian jig. there is more info about the tune in the liner notes, but i don't have the cd on me at the moment.

according to the liner notes, Larry got this from a recording of the Pride of Erin ceili band, which was led by Larry's father, Sean Nugent.

Damn, carried over that ^c with the cut-and-paste... Since ^c (c#) is already in the key E Dorian no ^ is required...

"The Pride of Erin" ~ A Dorian and other options
Thanks to concertinaplayer for the reminder. I first heard and learned this tune from "The Pride of Erin Ceilidh Band" lot, including the Nugents, fine musicians, instrumentalists and singers, and dancers too ~ in their lot, great characters and generous hearts...
Here it is up higher in another key, A Dorian, and with some other ways I've been remembering. I'm not sure where the second ending came from, but that is how it came on me last night trawling the dark waters of my mind for a name for concertinaplayer's tune in search of a name. It can be played with or without it ~

I wish I had a turntable or the band digitized so I could add a transcription of their playing of it. If anyone has it and would provide it I'd transcribe it... Or someone else could do so and add it here...
