The Highest Hill in Sligo

I found this transcription on JC's and thought it needed to be here. This is Manus McGuire's version he plays it on his solo album with just him and his brother on this tune. He puts it before one of his own compostions which I also found on JC's I will post that tomorrow. Danu also does a great version of this tune. This is a relatively recent tune written by Ed Reavy.

If you look at Reaveys Reel 'The Highest Hill in Sligo' you will see a striking resemblance in the body of the tune.
