This is an odd take fromthe ABCs in an old notebook of mine, what I could read, and my memory, what I could read… 😉 Both could be faulty, as could the original souce, as session in the Wicklow hills with all of us well oiled… I loved that pub’s bottled Guiness because he used to let it sit for at least six months before opening it for a few of us who liked our Guiness warm and bottle aged… Mad eh?

https://thesession.org/recordings/1247 ~ track 13 (side 2, track 6), the 2nd jig of two.

Q: 134 bpm (1 beat = three quavers/eighth notes)

I have also learned this one direct as well from other living sources and situations where the average tempos varied from 120 to 136 bpm (& higher 😛) ~ 1 beat = one crotchet/quarter note…

X: 6 above looks like a setting of The Castlebar Races, AKA Mist on the Meadow:
