Eileen O'Riordan's
From John Skelton's playing on the first "Shegui" album. Used to love playing this for RonP's wife's set dancing class in Aberdeen - sadly demised - the class , that is.

Eileen O'Riordan's
PHEW - that's a relief Kenny - it wouldn't say much for our marriage if I hadn't noticed!

I think this is a slightly different version of what Zina posted as Liz Kelly's: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/4176 I know a very similar tune and am wondering if I should post it.

Duplicated
Well spotted, “slainte”. Zina has indeed posted this tune before me, although I found the tune under the title “Eileen O’Riordan’s” on several websites, but nowhere else is it called “Liz Kelly’s”.

VERY well spotted, slainte-san! I got the tune name off of Mulvihill and McComiskey's album One More Time. Since they're both "named" type titles, my bet is that neither of us has it right, Kenny!

Suppose so..
Very possibly, Zina. Did the McComiskey/Mulvihill sleeve notes have anything to say about where they got the tune from? There wasn't any information on "Shegui"'s album.

Not a word. Conan says he thought it was on another album which I don't have, so I've asked him to tell us what name they used for it. I rather assume that either Mulvihill or McComiskey got the tune from Liz Kelly.

Going back to this discussion after missing out on naming the CD 4 years ago!
It has since appeared in the automatic list of CDs with the tune - Meitheal by Seamus Begley and Steve Cooney
