Nice dance tune
Seamus Meehan, Paul O’Shaughnessy, and Mark Kelly used this for the wheelbarrow figure of the Clare Plain set on the NPU tape Round the House.
This tune is painted on the outside wall of Pepper’s pub in Feakle.
Martin Hayes Version
So old pages (say, from 1999) eventually go the way of the woolly mammoth? I posted this way back when, but it’s gone, so here it is again. This is how I play it years after learning it from Under the Moon, so I’m not sure how precisely it matches Martin’s setting on that cd (though probably closer than I’d like to get caught in public :-) ).
X: 1
T: Maid of Feakle
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
D: Martin Hayes, Under the Moon
K: G

With all due respect…
It’s falls better on the fiddle in D or A.
