Jim McBride’s No. 2

Paul learned this from his mother, Pearl who had it from her father, Jim McBride of Navenney Street, Ballybofey. This setting is in fact two separate tunes which are often played as a single extended barndance today. In this setting it is sometimes called Pearl O’Shaughnessy’s and has been recorded under that title. The first two parts are versions of Gan Ainm 1 and Gan Ainm 2 as well as McConnell’s where the parts are played in reverse order. The 3^rd and 4^th parts of this setting are versions of Gan Ainm No. 3.
