I was asked for a tune last night at a session.... the fella thought it was called the "Commissionair".... eventually we figured out he meant "Mise Eire" (misha aira).....

does anyone have the tune?

thanks

I think the name of the song you're looking for may be "For Ireland I'll Not Say Her Name"

I have an EP called Mise Éire which was the sound track for a film written by Seán Ó Riada It is a gael-lin recording, CEF 002. The melody seems to be a play on Rosin Dhu.

Yes, Alison, that's it. The EP has 7 tunes altogether, with sleeve notes in Gaelic. I have had this for at least twenty years.
