Re: Mandolin session in Edinburgh's Waverley Bar
Thanks for these fine sets and for reminding me of the first hornpipe, which you call Daniel O'Connell's. It was written by Frank McCollum of Antrim and called 'the Home Ruler' in honour of his wife, nothing to do with O'Connell the politician although people now assume it is. The second and third tunes (My Love is in America) are normally played as reels in Irish sessions. Apart from having to rename the set it is perfect!

mainly Irish & Scottish but open to all dance-oriented melodic music.
