I can't write much about this tune due to my having an industrial strength hangover to wrestle with.  I recorded this tune yesterday, before I went out.  I recall feeling quite well then.

This is a tune with a great name.

I'll tidy up this post tomorrow. I'm feeling too vague just now.

Today is now tomorrow and I'm fit to add that I heard this one on Paddy Carty's LP. It's named after "The Balloon" which was a pub in Fulham, London owned by Con Curtin from Kerry.

Here's a jig I was asked to put on.  I looked it up on the internet and got these particular "Google's Frolics".  I hope they are the correct frolics.

I've known this tune for years but I never knew its name.  I've learned more tune names in the last 2 months than in the preceding 2 decades.

I'm not sure why it is.

Here's a nice plain reel.  It's on, among other places, "The Eagle's Whistle" LP of Michael Tubridy which is well worth a listen.

Here's a good reel.  I must try excavating my Matt Molloy record which has this tune living in its groove.

(I was trying to remember this last night and then I saw it on the Chiff and Fipple site: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=50746 - Fipple & Chips)

Here's a very common jig. The "Walsh" seems fairly interchangeable with "Welsh". The "Tatter Jack" bit refers to "An tAthair Jack", i.e. Father Jack.
