Notes: Frank McCollum was a great fiddler and composer from Ballycastle, Co. Antrimm. He wrote the superb tune ‘The Home Ruler’ in honour of Charles Stewart Parnell and this is currently proving popular with recording artists. [this was written in 1981]

*What key is the version in the YouTube above played in? (E flat(?) was one suggestion.)  Can you help?
