I've been sweating this little monster of a tune for over a month now. Personally, I'd recommend using one bow stroke for notes such as "B~B2". Enjoy.

Full of little twists and turns, this one. I'll bet all the backers love it.

OIsin mac diarmada

..plays a lovely version of this tune on the second teada album.

This is one of my favourite tunes as it is so versatile, i think it lends itself to be played slowly, yet it can also be played at a fair lick.

Denis Lanctot's version (on his album For the Love of Tara) is truly amazing... brilliant, crisp and absolutely percolating, giving this tune terrrrrific lift. Worth a listen.

Galway fiddler is right, as demonstrated by Paul Smyth's nice and steady version, and by Molloy's faster recording on "Pathway to the Well." They both sound great. It is no easier on the flute either.
