One of the great many tunes I've learned from Natalie MacMaster....

1 - this is a 6/8 march - not a jig.
2 - Composed by P.M. John MacKenzie.
3 - like most pipe-marches, it has 4 parts, not just 2.

The third part is essentially a variation on the first part, and the fourth part is exactly the same as the second.

"The MacNeils Of Ugadale" ~ a quick rough out:

It's not like you need a QC, but here's that march, what I could find of it on the spot, not as I would play it necessarily ;-) ~ but it isn't a march I was familiar with before catching it here in two parts...

This is a march I've heard before, most probably Cape Breton, and I quite like it and think it deserves to be 'complete', 4 parts...out of courtesy for the composer... I can also recommend the collection listed above, a nice selection of tunes, and it includes chords and is available with a CD of the tunes...

Now to learn it so I can be 'familiar' with it, wear it in like an old pair of blue jeans...
