Miss Sarah MacManus
I transcribed this tune as played by Battlefield band in "New spring" album, track 8, 1st tune. This title appears signed by Ian MacFarlane, but I find great similarity with other 2 reels. The "A" part sounds quite equal to "The maid behind the bar", while the "B" part reminds me one of Matt Molloy's variations in "The mason's apron".
Meanwhile you can find this tune both in "Out the gap" by Sharon Shannon, track 8, 3rd tune, and in "Signs" by Kathryn Tickell, track 5 after a F riff. This latter one is titled simply Sarah MacManus, but they both play in F key as it follows:
X:1
