What key do folks play this in?

I really like this tune, but there’s no way I could play it in F up to speed on my keyless flute… does anyone play it in G in sessions?

Posted by .

In G

Yep, I play this one in G in the sessions. pretty much as lunasa play it. It wouldn’t be too friendly on my pipes otherwise.

G?

Yeah, G is more common. Though I always relish a chance to play it if F if there are no flutes or pipes around. It really is loads better in F on the fiddle. Partly because you can roll the high third (A, when in F) on the fiddle. Pipes and flutes obviously have no problem rolling their top B

A version in G

Here’s a G version for flutes and whistles - found on Trillian

COMMENT:

Peoples Tune

This comes off of a CD that Brad Hurley sent me containing a famous session tape from Gort in 1991. Brad added some tracks at the end that feature Kevin Crawford conducting a workshop that usually involves sitting and listening in amazement as he plays. Someone had the good sense to switch a tape recorder on and capture this tune that I’ve never heard anywhere else. If someone has a name other than what Kevin referred to it as, please elucidate.

Here’s a link to an mp3 I made of the tune:
http://www.tipsyhouse.com/Peoplestune.mp3

This tune submission is in response to this discussion:
https://thesession.org/discussions/18336

Can anyone submit the notes for the version in G pls? Thanks!

Just copy and paste the ABCs above into Concertina.net’s Tune-O-Tron converter and away you go!

what key does damien mullane play black pats in ??? thanks :)

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow

This is an incredible tune.

"…named after my first cousin, Patrick Peoples, affectionately known as "Black Pat", due to his hair colour in his younger days, not his temperament.At all times he shows great heart." - Tommy Peoples

You can hear this tune in a Newcastle session recording here:
