Does anyone have the Sean Ryan books?

We were treated to a great Patrick Ourceau fiddle workshop the other day, here:
http://mofiddles.com/staff/index.html
and learned 2 brilliant Sean Ryan jigs. For anyone with the books, the
second tune we learned was Father Kelly’s Farewell. He also played for
us some of the reels in the books. But the one we don’t have a name for
is this one:

Anybody have the name, it would be most appreciated. For fellow fluters,
Mike Hogan and myself are working on transcribing the flutey versions
which we had to figure out on the spot :slight_smile:

Thank you Peter!

Here’s the flutey way I worked out but would be interested in any other
takes on it for flute. Looking at it now there’s not much difference, but it
certainly felt that way when we were learning it, with all those fiddles
going down to the low notes. As I’m getting more used to it I suppose it
will change a bit anyway.
