Apologies if I have done this wrong but I couldn't find the same tune in the database, it's certainly not the same tune as that listed as 'The Sligo'. I learnt it in a lesson from Kevin Crawford.
Cheers

Nice to see you here Stuart. It will be interesting to see if anyone has this tune under another title - 'Sligo Reel' seems a bit vague like it was just one he heard in Sligo one day!!

Recorded by Harry

I was sure I'd posted this already, but can't find it. It was recorded on Harry Bradley's 1st CD, "Bad Turns & Horseshoe Bends", released in 1999, and I reckon most players got it from there, almost certainly if they're calling it by the name "Sligo Reel", which was the name Harry gave to it.
