Con Cassidy's

I recently came across Liz Doherty's playing of this tune while listening to old minidisc recordings of radio programmes. It's also on Paul McGrattan's second solo album, which I happen to have. The version here is a composite of the two recorded on the fiddle and the flute.

It's supposedly a distinct version of Curlew Hills, or the Glenbeigh: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/670 I believe they are different enough for separate entries.

i learned this version from playing of paul o'shaughnessy, martin and christine dowling.
they called it con cassidy's version of glenbegh, and they played it as set together with real glenbeigh and peach bloosom barndance.
hammy hamilton glenbegh from his moneymusk album is mixture of this and 'real' glenbeigh.
