Ellen O’Grady slip jig

I lifted this tune from the CD my daughter uses for dance practice. No name given, just a set called slip jigs, plus the CD said all the tunes were traditional. The group/organization/entity putting out this CD is "Two Left Feet". This tune was the last in a set including another Gan Ainm in G which I’ll be posting shortly, and "Kid on the Mountain". It worked well with the other two tunes as a "finale" of the set, because it’s so bright-sounding.

This is close to a version I know of The Whinny Hills of Leitrim, but in a different key. Nice tune.

I found this tune under the name "Ellen O’Grady" in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland.
