The Ronan Boys

Liz Carroll wrote this tune in honour of her friends’ triplet boys, the Ronans. It is the first tune on her In Play album with John Doyle. One of my favourite reels to play. A nice variation (stolen from Liz!) for the B part is:

X: 1
T: The Ronan Boys
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
K: D

The Ronan Boys

That is, their surname was Ronan… they weren’t all called Ronan!
