A reel in my favourite scale (Dorian) with three parts that are unusally short and echo each other's melody themes in a funny way. I found it hard to end this one properly (you wake up after five times round and wonder where you are), so I plugged Cup of Tea (also 3-part, incidentally, but twice as long) behind it as a bonus tune.

good stuff Bertram, enjoyed that, i had one of those fylde's myself for a while but couldn't deal with the width of the neck. been meaning to learn the cup of tea for a while now.
Thanks Gort, the neck is indeed a bit wide, but I got so used to that I'm feeling claustrophobic on normal fretboards now.
ah, Roscommon, one of my favourite counties! I think I know that one by a different name though.
Yes, Jill - the usual confusion about names and versions. Many play this as Master Crowley's, there's even a #1 and #2, just so it does not get too easy. Musically, this one is re-using so many building blocks of other tunes that it sounds like a yard sale of spare parts, but that is also what makes it very easy to learn.
