The B part is exactly the same as the B part of Within a Mile of Dublin. The rest is completely different. Nice reel. Do you know what the name means?

The name means The Tinkerman's Wife (or woman, but I think it's normally translated in this context as wife!)

In the Bpart here I emphasise the weak (2nd and 4th) beats much more than I do in Within a Mile of Dublin, so it does come out sounding slightly different. Also, I play a different fourth bar in the Bpart of Within a Mile of Dublin... I think... I just played it but of course having thought about its similarities with this tune I may well have ended up getting a mixed-up version of the two ;o)

More accurately “An Bhean Tincéara” with an “a” at the end rather than an”e”.
