Four comments

I learnt this tune by ear from the Enda Scahill banjo album called pick it up. Enda Scahill composed this tune himself. Great banjo player and a great album.

Learnt this tune off Enda’s album just now. Didn’t realise it was already here. I was gonna post it. Here’s my simple transcription. Not much difference between this and banjaxbanjo’s setting.
