Rounding out the set

I was surprised this tune was not already on thesession as it is part of the standard "Sligo Set":

Up Sligo/Rollicking Boys Of Tandragee/Out With The Boys

Anyways, this version is from Kevin Burke's solo fiddle in Oregon.

Off to the Races

Kevin used to refer to this tune, rightly or wrongly, as Off to the Races. It's on the 2nd of his Homespun teaching videos, where he shares some nice thoughts about it.

Laurence Nugent has this as Pip Murphy's. I wouldn't know for certain but I'm guessing that perhaps this is harmonica player Pip Murphy, son of the late Phil Murphy who lives down in Carrick on Bannow in Wexford. See this link for info Phil Murphy http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/5121

Out with the Boys ----> Pigtown Fling

This jig reminds me of The Pigtown Fling - they make a nice pair (if you don't mind mixing jigs and reels in the same set!)
