This tune is written in the key of D major (Two sharps; F# and C#), and is often played with a set of other polkas, such as Denis Murphy's Polka. It is a very popular tune and is a great one to start at a session for players who are new to the idea of starting session sets. It's often considered to be a "beginners tube," although usually welcomed and frequently played because of its popularity. It's one of the few tunes I've noticed musicians may have fun interaction while playing: sometimes there is a "call and response" between musicians during the A part (the two "Ds" vs. the other 3 beats of the measure). Some may take a solo for the different beats of the A part, highlighting different instruments in the session.
I believe this was also one of the songs in The Titanic movie. It's always neat to hear trad music highlighted in some of the classic movies!
Thank you for watching! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during these uncertain times! =)

"you need teacher to play violin" , with the lack of teachers right now these Tutorials have helped in more ways than i could've asked for
You are so helpful and amazing. I've just started learning to play fiddle . This is now my favorite song to play. Thank you from Alan in rainy Ireland
Thank you for the bipart screen showing your left fingers for tutorial
Hi, dear Kate. Thank you so much for share your amazing fiddle tunes and your tutorial. Without doubt is the great stuff! Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much, Daisy!
This is one of my favorite Irish tunes to play (slightly different version). I love the little roll ( the diddle-diddle part) - there is something similar in "The Top of Maol" (although it is more diddle-diddle-dum - sorry to use technical terms :-) ) and a Kerry polka. Stay Safe!
Always worth watching! Thank you!
Thank you Katy! Excellent tutorial, and your joy means even more in these tough times. You’re a treasure! 😘😘
Thank you so much, Katy! You teach so well that I was really able to pick this up fast! Thank you again, and stay healthy!
