Gale Bridge

This is the third in the set of slides from Tom Barrett's CD Lios A'Cheoil, the set being:

Bedford Cross http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/7444
Biddy the Darling http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/7452
Gale Bridge

The sleeve notes say "this was also a popular north Kerry slide."

A great set of slides altogether, in my opinion.

Two Points

1) I've heard this played as a polka

2) It appears on "They Sailed Away from Dublin Bay" as The Moyglass Fair.
