Nice tune. It has a similar feel to The Ships In Full Sail, doesn’t it?

This is the version the late and great Dympna O’Sullivan played it on her album “Bean Chairdín”. It’s track 6; jig set "The Meelick Team Jig/The Millpond Jig/ Courtown Harbour
Re: Lough Gill
Is this the same jig used in the movie soundtrack of “The Boys & Girl from County Clare” in a set before “Gillian’s Apples”? I’ve got it notated slightly differently but think it’s that same jig.
Re: Lough Gill
In the 3rd measure of the B part, my ear wants to make the C a C#. Is there an accidental there, or is it really a C natural?
Lough Gill, X:3
The setting as played by James Keane from his album Toss The Feathers.

Third jig (at 5:00) in this clip of Claire Keville and Pat O’Connor -- one I love to play along with.
The other videos from that same house concert are all great, too.
