Composed by Brendan McGlinchey.

McGlincheys AKA

From Cathal Haydens most recent Album this in known as Mrs Lawries. The version on the session appears a little bit odd to me!
It is played in a set with Splendid Isolation

Mrs. Lawrie's

I think the version bootboy posted (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/568) six days after this one is quite faithful to the way Cathal Hayden plays it, but I'd love to know how it compares to how the composer himself plays it. He probably plays it differently every time, I know, but still. I basically play it as Cathal Hayden has it, but originally I learned it from Silly Wizard's album So Many Partings, in which they sort of combine it with Splendid Isolation, shuffling the parts of the tunes together. I think they also played it in Ador instead of Gdor. Very confusing, and it was tough re-learning it.

This is very close in notes to his version on the live in london album. (Cough) He puts more rolls in and simplifies some bits. But I can't stand the dumbed down versions I'm hearing these days... :-D (Cough cough)
