Taken from a video of Fred Morrison playing uilleann pipes on the transatlantic sessions. This tune instantly became one of my favorites. Had a little bit wrong, but was corrected by ceolachan.

Thanks for the link and listen Joe, lovely, both the pipes, sweet and having a kick with that tune, and the lovely banjo too, very nice, played straight, in one old-time American way with such tunes. The transcript given is minus all those lovely slurs and rolls given by the piper. While I followed that, I kept being drawn to the simplicity of the banjo.
Nice transcription work from the start Joe, you obviously have decent ears and a fair understanding...

I like how they tried to emulate the slides with their ABCs. It seems to have been transcribed from the same source.

I'd love to hear just the banjo on that tune...but I enjoy what the piper does as well...

I love this tune... I've watched that video about a million times and even looked for a transcription of it on here a few months ago. So when do we get a transcription of Jarlath's tune

I forgot to put a question mark at the end of that last comment. I hope the grammar police won't string me up...
