The Cashmere Shawl (aka. The Hut in the Bog)

This tune was popularised in West Yorkshire just before I left there: one flute player picked it up from John Williams' first solo recording and introduced it to the session. Having learned some phrases, I've totally forgotten about it for months, but Paul O'Shaughnessy and Harry Bradley's superb duet playing reminded me of it in the concert. Good to have their playing of the tune in a new recording too. They actually play it as Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran's setting of "The Hut in the Bog," which is different from what is already in this site.

The version here is a mixture of all the versions I heard. The second part is very similar to the first part of "Jenny's Chickens," so I suspect this is another Irish variant of "Sleepy Maggie."

I think I forgot to note Harry Bradley and Paul O'Shaughnessy actually play this tune in Bmin.

Wow! Now, it has become clear this tune derives from Sleepy Maggie: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/787 Also compare Jennie's Chicken: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/756

The A-part sounds a bit like the Abbey reel.

The chieftains

also played by the chieftains in their album reel music-the film scores. the track is called blind pew. (if you haven't already, watch the movie the treasure island (1990) with charlton heston, music by the chieftains)
