Trarnscription mistake

The 13th bar of the B part should be |BzB deg|.
Sorry for that.

The Green Fields of Woodford

This jig is often associated with Bronx fluter Jack Coen, who is originally from Woodford, East Galway. Another E. Galway flute player Sean Moloney also recorded it citing his father Eddie Moloney as the source.
