Takayuki YAGI Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Does anyone know the name of the first tune in these clips? The first part is very similar to John Dwyer's but the second part is different. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR71 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I learned that tune - or something very like it - a long time ago, from a tape of the famous fiddler Larry Redican. I noticed the Riches of Clare musicians playing it too, and wondered if it's the same. Recording in question. It's 48 seconds long, and he goes into a 3rd part which is cut short. That's all I know, hope this is of interest. Edited July 20, 2022 by LR71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Thank you LR71 for the clue. The third part is indeed puzzling. I will look into that further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It's (Micho Russell's version of) the Mason's Apron. And the Edenderry after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for your help ! I really appreciate it. I searched for that name and found recordings by Denis Liddy and Michael Hynes, Rory McMahon and of course Micho himself.

Do note the Tulla ceiliband used to play a version, and Bríd O'Donohue recorded that as well, they referred to as 'Micho Russell's Mason's Apron' which is a bit of a different take on the same material. Different enough to be read as yet a separate version. These things get around and change along the way. I'll try jot it down and post it here when I have a bit of time. Added: The Tulla play something like this.

Takayuki YAGI Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Thank you again, and thank you for the ABC notation. I don't have the Tulla Ceili Band recording and the Brid O'Donohue recording, but I did hear Liam O'Brien playing on the Brid O'Donohue & Family CD. I found a mention of an alias for Lady Carbury in the liner notes of that CD, so I looked it up and found a recording by William Mullaly as well.
