Accuracy of transcript

Sorry bayswater but I checked the 'abc' file and sheetmusic against Noel Leneghan's recording and the 'A' part doesn't quite match. I wouldn't mention it but the 1st and 5th bar phrases are far better as played than as transcribed. Here's what I got:

As for a composer, (ceolachan) the musician (Noel Leneghan) who's disc this recording came from is based in Galway. Best wishes
