Playing or Personal Notes:

Wikipedia says that "Spirit of the West" used this tune in their song "Home for a Rest".

Nevertheless, opinion has it that this tune should be played slowly; "You could play this a fast reel in amongst a set but you'd be missing out on the tune's real beauty. This is a tune to play slowly. It has a very haunting, almost medieval sound to it. Some well chosen triplets or rolls could enhance it nicely. And watch out for that F natural.".
