Flying to the Fleadh
I love this slip jig. I heard Grainne Hambly play it at a festival last summer. I transposed it from a session tape I made of a friend in Cincinnati.
According to Grainne's liner notes for her Between the Showers CD - This slip jig is one of the compositions of uilleann piper Patrick Davey, from Belfast. It was composed in August 1995, on the occasion of the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil held in Listowel, Co. Kerry.

As suggested by a friend. Note the turns in the 7th bar of each part.

A lovely, lovely tune. I learned it a few years ago from my harp teacher Kathy DeAngelo who learned it from Grainne Hambly.
I found it very difficult at first and dropped it from my repetoire for a long time. I have since re-learned it and am very glad I put all that time into it the first time around.
