I think this is the tune that was being requested in Discussions this week - I apologise if it's the wrong one. I've heard it played slightly differently from this version, but it's not my transcription, so I didn't tamper with it. Somebody, no doubt, has a proper name for it, and perhaps knows who wrote it ...?

Para handy tune

the tunes called 'Manus Lunny's Teracotta Plower Pot', and the 'P' isnt a mistake. written by phil cunningham. think maybe the original version is in A, starting on low a on the g string. thats how people play it over here anyway.

What kind of an imposter is this?

Check out the original & best Para Handy theme tune to the Vital Spark:

A Hornpipe of course, so much more appropriate for a prog with a maritime theme, don't you think!
