Good tune… I’ve been looking for the name for ages. Thanks for the link Miles.

The ABCs here are slightly odd in that they seem to be a mixture of the versions played by Solas and Jerry Holland. The 2nd part is pure Solas but the third part is closer to Jerry Holland’s. Both Solas and Jerry Holland repeat the 2nd part as a 4th part before returning to the start again.
