James Byrne's Jig - Irish Flute Tunes

What this episode covers

I learned this from James Byrne who is a great fiddle player from Meenacross, near Glencolmbkille in Donegal. I'm not sure whether it has another name. It sounds a bit like a slide to me. There are quite a few of these tunes which have ended up in Donegal. They must have taken a wrong turn in Killarney one day.
