Here’s the last of the three reels known as “The Three Sisters”. This is full of the familiar, both the A & B parts, but I’ll leave you to making those connections…
This is the sort of thing slainte enjoys. Where are you lad?
The second part reminds me of ‘The Morning Dew’; not sure of the first one.

The three sisters is a great set. My problem is I have played all in other versions before (Monymusk, Drowsie Maggie, Sean Frank) and so I mix up all these versions and make another one ….
