Snow on the Hills (reel)

The recent weather which, according to the radio person, is the worst and snowiest since the last time we were told it was the worst since bad weather started to be bad and to be recorded as such, has reminded me that I was asked to post this tune.

I didn’t know it so here’s just a rough guess as to what the dots at www.snowonthehills.org (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/8535) say it goes like.

The Hawthorn (slip jig)

Here’s a wee tune I stole out of Ceol Rince na hÉireann 3 (uimhir 57).

I know it’s meant to be bad luck stealing or interfering with thorn bushes in the wild.  Hopefully na daoine beaga don’t take such a dim view of thorn thefts from tomes.
