Rabbit

A week or so ago I posted this discussion: http://www.thesession.org/discussions/display/19650
Five tunes I didn't know the names of - I eventually got all the names (much quicker than I expected, in fact), and actually, all but one of them were already here. The one that wasn't is this one.

This is The Rabbit, a tune by Kevin O'Neill. The only video I managed to find of it was this one, which, to be honest, I don't particularly like: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=keoHfqh36T0 They start playing the tune properly at about 1:34.

I picked this tune up from a session at Folkworks Summer School '08. I did actually take a video, but I didn't put it on Youtube cos I didn't want to put a load of people up on the Internet for everyone to see without their consent.

Enjoy!

Great tune

That is Kevin on flute on the video link (the one on the right hand side half out of shot). It is regularly played in the sessions in Glasgow in particular.
