GUEST,Mick Pearce	a tune called Slane (49)	RE: a tune called Slane	20 May 18
Correction to the post above JAFL 18 was 1905 not 1909. I've had a listen to another audio recording. Joseph Higgins (Brackalislea , Derry) recorded it for the BBC in 1953 using a Slane tune (amazon Uk sample"). Other audio versions listed in Roud were recorded in Ireland - Robert Cinnamond, William Coulter in the 50s, Malachy Clerkin 70s and Mick Hoy (undated), the others are from US and Canada (total 18 results including duplicates). I just listened to the samples for Banks of the Bann (ignoring possible other titles) available in Amazon uk digital and of the 35 or so artists (all except Joseph Higgins modern recordings I think) and all but about 4 used the Slane tune. So it seems to be the most popular tune now in the British Isles. Mick
