No comments?

A really nice, classic Sliabh Luachra jig. Denis Murphy plays |G3 AGA|Bde gdB| and Caoimhin o'Raghallaigh and Breanndan Begley played it |G2G AGA|dgf gdB| in concert at Boston College; the setting presented, with the long B, is from Paddy Cronin's playing (he played it crosstuned, up a set). Also good an octave low.
