Good reminder of this tune. Haven’t played it for years but it’s the same version as Dafydd that I know.
Bean Paidín
Harry Bradley recorded this together with Emmet Gill on his latest solo recording, citing Connemara melodeon player Johnny Connolly as the source. It seems to be based on the song of the same title.
I really like that chord sequence the backers do last time through on the B-part: G-B7-Em-C-G. Great stuff!
Repeal of the Union
Sorry, this isn’t what Harry Bradley recorded as Bean Paidín. Please ignore my comments above.
The tune as written here is a weird version of the tune recorded by Dinny Delaney, and seems fairly unique to John Carty. The more standard version (and that recorded by Delaney) is here: https://thesession.org/tunes/11446
Harry Bradley does indeed play the tune on "The Night-Rambler’s Companion", but again plays the more standard version, coupled with Bean Paidín
Re: Dinny Delaney’s
I’m sure that many get this one confused with Slip Jig.
Liam O’Brien recorded a nice version on his album "The Lane".
He named it "The Repeal Of The Union".
I tried to transcripe it without his ornamentations.
