Man, i need to brush up on my knowledge of tune types... I THINK this is a slip jig... (?)
Donal Lunny wrote this, it's a fun tune but you'll go insane after practicing it a few times... oh well

Oh yeah, on the last line, after you play the second ending you're supposed to go back to the beginning, play the whole thing through, and on then skip the last second ending and go to the part after it. Confusing??

Great tune
This is a great slip jig. Fair play to you for writing all of it out in ABC.
That Donal Lunny live album with this tune on it is one of the best trad recordings ever, in my humble opinion. It has that terrific version of The Gold Ring and those mad polkas.
Does anyone have the track listing for it? And, if so, would they like to post it in the "Recordings" section?

Thats brilliant Mark, well done
Thanks for writing this out in the abc thing.
It took me ages to learn it of the CD and then write it down.
For anyone else who wants to learn it, don't give up, it's worth it.
Just play along with the CD, and the dots should help.

Brilliant, but there are a few bars that differ from what is played on the recording:
A-part bars 5&6: |ABc cde dcA|BAG dBG cGE|

C-part bar 1: |efg eaf dgf|

If you want to convert this to sheetmusic, cut & paste the abc with all its headers including the X: header into the box @ this webpage http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html and click on "submit".
