Goes well with "Over the Ocean"

"Over the Ocean"? Or "Out on the Ocean"? In either case, I'm not a big fan of Martin Hayes and would rather play Battering Ram after it. Compare "Scotsman Over the Border": http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/548

Carraroe Jig / Out on the Ocean

A set popularised by a 1959 recording All Ireland Champions Violin but a more established set (also with Clare origins, I think, maybe Joe Cooley):

Queen of the Fair / Carraroe

The Carraroe Jig

The oldest recording of this tune was probably done by Ballinakill Traditional Dance Players of East Galway in 1920s or 1930s. http://juneberry78s.com/sounds/ListenToIrishDance.htm

You know slainte, I could nearly kiss you for that link. Thanks very very very much!!

# Posted on June 9th 2007 by PaddyCmusic

Paddy, I got the link from "ceolachan," so hug and kiss him.

Have you seen the rest of that site? What a resource! Mixture of Irish, Cape Breton, Blues music, etc. Incredible that someone would put all that together.

Yes it has come up on site here a lot, also recommended by yours truly, and I had sworn I'd added it to the 'Links', but it isn't there. It is on my 'details' page with some other 78 sources... I'd better go search links again and if it isn't there I'll add it... :-/

# Posted on June 10th 2007 by ceolachan

Damn, I did, but I screwed up and posted it in a way that you can't do a search using 'Juneberry' or '78s'. I'll have to see if Jeremy can remedy it. It doesn't seem to offer an 'edit' feature...

Nice one ceolchan ;-)
