Flook-Rubai?

This is posted as being the tune "The Beehive" from Rubai by Flook but looking at it I'm really sure that it isn't!! Not sure about Nollaig though, haven't heard that yet......

I agree

It's not the one on Rubai that's for sure!Same the Sligo Reel on here says it's the one on Flatfish but it's not either!!

The tune "The Beehive" on "Rubai" is by Sarah Allen of Flook. The (first) tune here is by Nollaig Casey. I'd say it was in G minor, rather than D minor (though with an F Natural, as you'd expect with an Irish tune).
