The butterfly

Hey all - Happy day! I was just wondering if someone has a good suggestion of a tune to play along with 'the butterfly' at my local session? I've been playing this tune lately and really like it. It definitely has a unique feel to it, and I'm looking for something that would go well with it.

I like Dever The Dancer (I think that's its name) and Fig for a Kiss. Two good slip jigs.

I was going to say Fig for a Kiss, but now I'll suggest Dusty Miller.

Kid on the Mountain is another good one.

I enjoy playing it with The Boys of Ballisodare

Someone's already suggested Kid on the Mountain, but if you want to hear them together listen to the Bothy Band's Old Hag You Have Killed Me. They do a set of those two.

We do Ned 'o the Hill, Butterfly, Rights of Man, Kid On The Mountain. We tend to kick the tempo up when we hit Kid, but only because I like it fast and angry on flute. This is a gig set, not a session thing... and we're not all that 'trad' a band.

We play it with Teetotalers, sometimes.

cowtime - "Butterfly" was on the 1st BB album. "Kid OTM" was on the 2nd.

This is a good one to try:
The Boys of Ballisodare / The Butterfly / The Foxhunters Jig (really a slip - comes from the uilleann pipe tone poem) / The Snowy Path

I like Elizabeth Kelly's (sometimes known as Catherine Kelly's) before Butterfly.

How about Deirdre's Fancy after it

I like sandwiching it between Drowsy Maggy and Morrisons...I call it the key signature set.
