I've been sweating this little monster of a tune for over a month now. Personally, I'd recommend using one bow stroke for notes such as "B~B2". Enjoy.

Full of little twists and turns, this one. I'll bet all the backers love it.

OIsin mac diarmada

..plays a lovely version of this tune on the second teada album.

This is one of my favourite tunes as it is so versatile, i think it lends itself to be played slowly, yet it can also be played at a fair lick.

Denis Lanctot's version (on his album For the Love of Tara) is truly amazing... brilliant, crisp and absolutely percolating, giving this tune terrrrrific lift. Worth a listen.
