The Old Stage (slide)
This is the third slide from Jackie Daly on Patrick Street’s ‘Made In Cork’ CD:

The Bogman https://thesession.org/tunes/9834
The Old Stage
This tune is extremely like John Kelly’s Slide (https://thesession.org/tunes/2130) in the A part, but the B part is quite different.
The Old Stage (slide)
Just been looking throuigh the excellent book "300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty’ by Lesl Harker, and came across a slide called "Ta Mo Mhadra", which is another version of "The Old Stage". An alternative title is given as "Poor Nancy Died".
A Sung Version
On the Seamus Begley and Stephen Cooney album, "Meiteal," there’s a vocal part (in Irish) for the A section — very nice.
…as played by P.J. & Martin Hayes
Similar first part (though down in Em/G), different second part.
…and it’s called here Billy O’Rourke is the Buachaill.
The Old Stage, X:4
A version in Bminor, the key that this is played in by The Gloaming in The Opening Set.
