Any ideas about this? Hope it isn't here already - looked a fair bit for it.
From a session tape given to me of loads of unidentified players.

Simple yet effective. Great tune!

How come when I edited the error in the ABC the sheetmusic version stays the same? Or is it a reload problem?

This is The Scolding Wife. It's played a lot in Donegal (and Skerries) and this version is closer to what you would hear in Donegal than earlier versions in the database. I'll try to post another version later.

Is this known as the Scolding Wife in Donegal? I just looked it up here and in O'Neill's - I play the other tune as well and never would have put them together as being related. Interesting...
There's a memory of a recording of this other version floating round my head - if I find it I'll post it somewhere...
