Master seamus key query

my only recording (gabe mcvarish, eclection) has this tune in A, i think. anyone know if it was actually written in G, as listed here?

Key of G

Charlie Lennon composed it in the key of G major - that’s the key it is in in his book of compositions - page 84.

thanks very much for your reply. (and RATZ, now i have to finger it out in a new key…..)

Re: Master Seamus

Dermot Byrne plays this tune in A, but he likes to change the keys very often…
Very difficult on fiddle in G , and impossible in A !
