Another tune query. I was given the tune name My Maryanne for this one, but it doesn’t match the tune with that title in O’Neill’s. Anyone know the correct name for this?
Thx,
djm

Hello
There has been some discussion on this tune over on the flute forum.

They decided on ‘The Man from Bundoran’

djm,
No idea of the name for this tune but it crops up in Manchester sessions every now and then.
As well as the key you have in is sometimes played here a tone down.
This works nicely on the pipes as you can get some tasty D crans in the first part. Second part then goes to C Major but is easily do-able on the pipes.

Also known as Paddy Kelly’s.

Yes, Man From Bundoran fits what I have been able to find on this tune, as well. Thanks for your help, everybody, especially the idea of playing it in G - that Fnat can be tricky to hit at speed in the 2nd 8ve, though.

Isn’t that ‘The Kilmarnock Pumpernickel?’
