Irish traditional music :"The Chieftains" & James Galway play "The Butterfly"

"Third Party Copyright" is acknowledged on this particular arrangement.
"The Chieftains" and James Galway play an arrangement of the Irish slip-jig, "The Butterfly". Possibly the best-known "slip-jig" [ in 9/8 time ] in Irish traditional music. It was made popular by "The Bothy Band" on their first eponymous album. It is often thought of as an original composition by Dublin fiddle-player Tommy Potts, but it is generally accepted these days that he "re-arranged" parts from other traditional tunes, and possibly only the 3rd part is original. In any case, a great tune. "The Chieftains" arrangement plays the original - a great introduction by Matt Molloy - and then change the time signature into 12/8.
