this is the second tune in a marcus o`murchu set starting with Maho Snaps

what a fun little tune

Get Up Old Woman And Shake Yourself, X:4

A bandmate asked me to transcribe this tune she found in the Gow Collection & to transpose it from C to D. After I wrote it out I found it in the Second Fiddler’s Tune Book in D. Upon attempting to add it here in The Session, a message said it was already entered here, hence why it’s here and not entered as an entirely new tune. This version actually sounds like a completely different tune than what I’m seeing here so I queried YouTube & found both versions. Go figure. In any case, This one is in D (modal?) with accompanying chords.

Re: Get Up Old Woman And Shake Yourself X:4

Hi Judi, the tune you’ve posted is actually When Sick Is It Tea That You Want?

There are about 15 settings there, but none with chords! An alternative title for that jig is Go To The Devil And Shake Yourself, which might account for the confusion. I’ve not figured a way of moving settings from one tune to another
