What's the name of this tune?

Post by mahanpots »

Maybe a slow reel played by Altan? The A part starts out something like this: E2BA F~A3| ~A2FA BAFA|

And the B part (with a C#): GABC d2CA| Be ef g2fe|dBAF G3A| 3BCd 3Cde dBAF|

Thanks,
Michael

some version of the Maids of Mitchelstown?

Have a listen to the Bothy Band live (Matt Molloy) slow setting?

Thanks Mark. Indeed, it's the Maids of Mitchelstown, and it's the Bothy Band, not Altan.
