The Pathway To The Well

Nice Sligo jig. I heard it on a great album named after this tune in particular. The album can be found here:

Also, a nice clip of Matt Molloy and John Carty starting off with the tune is here:

The Pathway to the Well

In the notes of his solo album "Last Night’s Fun," John Carty writes that this tune "is an older version of Cherish the Ladies. It was very popular with Sligo fiddle players James Lad O’Beirne and Michael Coleman."

This tune…

… used to be on this site, somewhere… Can’t find it now. I did download the sheet music; perhaps I’ll add that version later if it doesn’t turn up.
