Tune names ?

[Robin Harrison]

I've just dragged these two hornpipes up from my memory.............they were popular session tunes in the UK in the 80's.

              The tunes I can remember not the names.

                      Any help ?

Thanks

Robin

The first tune is the Boys of Bluehill.

 

You should check out the Seamus Ennis version on the Session.org, version 8, for a lovely little wrinkle on the tune.

 

For the life of me, I can't think of the name of the 2nd one.

can't identify the 2nd either, but it's more than familiar...

got it: "The Sligo Fancy"

Will have a look; thanks

           Boys of Bluehill..............I recall now the poor tune was played mercilessly to within and inch of it's life and I (we) stopped playing it.

            Now, 35-40yrs  later I realise why we played it so much...it's a lovely.

Thanks again

we used to play them one after the after, but just on a yearly basis 🥳
