Scatter the Mud

I’ve been feeling this jig is too repetitive and boring to play, but I got in trance with it this afternoon. The version I picked up from Kevin Burke’s playing is:

Eileen Ivers plays the similar one.

Emerald Rose version

Here’s how Emerald Rose plays it. Quite different, but nice.

Re: Emerald Rose version

Somewhat similar to Kevin Burke’s version. Especially the second part.

oops. First and fifth should be |ecA B2 A|

Scatter the Mud question

I was listening to this (it’s amazing):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YVfKKCsF7k


and was wondering if anybody knew where there was sheet music for this version fo scatter the mud which has many more parts than the standard A minor 2 part one I hear at sessions. Does this tune in multi-part form have other names perhaps?

Re: Scatter the Mud question

Well IMHO it is ‘scatter the mud’ with a good few variations and a little playing about with the timing. I can’t really hear a separate third part.
I really like his playing and the reel which sounds to be ‘new mown meadows’ as stated on the site is a lovely session tune.

Re: Scatter the Mud question

Sounds like the regular two part Scatter the Mud to me.

Just learned this one today from banjo legend Brian McGrath. Great, simple tune.

I edited the tune to show ‘Scatter The Mud’ as the primary name for this tune. If this bothers anyone apparently it can be changed back just as easily.

This goes really good with the Lilting Banshee!
