Spellan the Fiddler

This is different from both of the tunes with the same name already posted.
Learnt from the album Across the Fence by the Bass family from Wexford, which I will post as soon as I have the track list.

Variation

B part, bars 3 and 4 (similar to the Harvest Home)

Re: Spellan The Fiddler

Thanks so much for this beautiful music. Just what I so badly needed on yet another Sunday in Lockdown in dear old London Town.
