Tie The Bonnet

Picked this up from a session at the National Folk Festival in Canberra this year. This is the tune that appears on Brian Rooney's "The Godfather", and also Lunasa's "Kinnitty Sessions". Another tune in O'Neill's that goes by the same name http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/136 is similar in the A-part but nevertheless a different tune.

The B-part has echoes of Dr. Gilbert http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/129, and the A-part uses similar themes to some Donegal settings of Drowsy Maggie http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/27.

A nice slow reel I learnt a long time ago. I don't know if it has another name.
