Yet another "name this tune" request
« on: April 08, 2019, 08:12:15 PM »

Does anyone know what this tune is? It was introduced to me by a friend during a private session at our house - none of the assembled company could name it, but we all thought it was probably Irish.
Thanks, Alyn

It's a hornpipe called The Home Ruler, composed by one Frank McCollum.

Trivia department: many assume that the title is a homage to the Irish politician Daniel O'Connell (advocate of "home rule") when in fact, apparently, the composer was referring to his wife. :-)

PS Your version is a wee bit simplified  :|glug

Thanks to all who replied with the name of the tune and the examples from YouTube.
