I think this tune was made up by box and fiddle player Finbar Dwyer. It has a fiddly G sharp in the first part but is good therapy. Just to prove the point about the G sharp, I've made a mess of it myself in a couple of places. Please don't feel obliged to learn the messes.

(24/04/07  - Just played this one again after hearing the state of the last try.  The messes are still there but I've moved them around a bit.)

Here's a tune associated with the fiddle player Jimmy Lyons, who came from Teelin in Co. Donegal.

Here's a jig which you'll find in CRÉ 3 (number 15). I think it's on a record of Sean Keane and Matt Molloy - Contentment is Wealth, where it is called Connie Connell's Jig.

Here's a well known reel. There's a version of in in Ceol Rince na hÉireann 3 (number 96). I'm not sure how close my version is.

I've never heard a name for this reel but it suits the flute well.

I think this jig is on a record of Bobby Casey, a fiddle player from County Clare.
