Frankie Kennedy’s (jig) wrong key

The tune is in D major, I have corrected my original post that was in Ddor, but i can’t change the sheetmusic that remains in Ddor.
My apologies to all.

also played with the parts reversed ( see Traditional Flute Music In The Sligo-Roscommon Style by Catherine McEvoy With Felix Dolan )

here’s a basic transcription of the McEvoy version above:
