Gentlemen .............. Joe G asked that we be respectful to each other on this thread.

Could I ask that we adhere to his wishes.

Please.

In my experience in Ireland tunes can tend to be quite localised, handed down within families and a small coterie of friends.

I have heard tunes here, on the West Coast of Galway I have never heard anywhere else.

I suspect,but cannot verify, that this is true of many areas in Ireland.
