    hi guys
    Im trying to track down a trad irish version of Pachelbel's Canon. My usual resource (session.org) is on this occassion not able to assist me in my search, the only tunes I am coming up with there is
    Pachelbel's Frolics, which is a different piece. Any ideas?
    thanks!

    thanks Plates, however, Im at work, I cant access that site nor does my PC at work have any speakers, so I dont know is the answer, as I dont know what this link points to.
    Can you tell me who is the group playing the piece, or what album its on?

    It's the Brazen Heads - from the album "Who's Yer Paddy". Looks like you can buy the track from http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/brazenheads

    Are you sure Pachelbel's Frolics isn't the tune you're looking for?
    It was recorded by Eileen Ivers on her first album - Eileen Ivers -Green linnet records.
    It starts off as the familiar Pachelbel's Canon before taking off into the hornpipe version in the second half.
    This is it from youtube - well worth a listen!
