Laurence Nugent in his first album plays this fling after the one I posted in February: https://thesession.org/tunes/1394

In my opinion are both two lovely tunes.

“The Four Provinces Highland Fling” ~ another way with it

The Four Province Fling NO.?

A variant of "The Rose amang the Heather"? https://thesession.org/tunes/2986

NO! ~ I mean YES!

You beat me to it. I needed my beauty sleep… :-/

I’ve given another couple of 16 bar takes on the melody under the comments for "The Rose"…

Sorry, I mean "No.?"

IN TRIPLICATE ~ ( AABB = 16 bars )

"The Rose Amang The Heather" ( AABBC = 44-44-8 = 24 bars )
