As played by Tim Collins and Brian MacNamara. This is from the Tunes of the Munster Pipers (Goodman).

Heard a lovely version of this tune played by Mikey Smith a few months ago. Sounds great on a DADGAD guitar.

I find this setting a bit cooler, though I also play the endings like EDD2.

This is straight from the Brian McNamara video - just a different notation.
