The Lass On The Strand

Paul Brock hunted this hornpipe out of Allan’s "Irish Fiddler" which was first published in Glasgow early, last century & was edited by Hugh McDermott.

Sounds a bit like the Sligo Fancy.

There’s a lovely version of this hornpipe played by young Clare fiddler, Bronwyn Power on the Comhaltas site at http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/comhaltaslive_241_3_bronwyn_de_paoron_fiddle/.

"The Lass on the Strand" ~ is a lovely schottische ~ other ways

X:3 "Belfast Hornpipe" from O’Neill’s. I much prefer this 2nd part.
