The Sandymount reel

I learned this tune of one of irelands best flute players -john lee.the tune appears on mary bergins first solo albumb “feadog stain”.she plays the reel of mulinavat after it.

on mary’s record i think the second bar is played

EGdG EGdG instead of EGDG EGDG its a nice variation.

I play it in a different way…

key is Gmajor

EAGB A3G|EGDG EGDG|EAAG A2(3Bcd|egag gedB:||\

Here it is from the band Providence, the 2nd tune from about 1.00

Setting #3 is as played by Paddy Taylor on his album “The Boy In The Gap”.
It’s actually not very different from the first setting, but with some nice variations.
The ’c’s in those triplets are only sharp because he is lazy, of course.

I loved this, hearing it on Catherine McEvoy’s early tape.

Love the version of it on De Danann’s second record.

I WAS LOOKING FOR SHEET MUSIC TO THE SANDPIPER AS HEARD ON DEBY BENTON GROSJEAN’S CD “BEYOND THE SHORE”….GORGEOUS TUNE BUT DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING HERE…WILL HAVE TO LEARN BY EAR..HOW AWFUL ! DAVID IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

the version that is on DEBY GROSJEAN’S CD for the sandpiper I love…reminiscent of TATTER JACK WALSH…I will just have to learn her version by ear…what a concept !

Does anybody know which version/set Órlaith McAuliffe plays in this video? Thanks!
