"Top of Cork Road" Irish celtic jig and reel, Ryan Thomson on fiddle "Captain Fiddle"

Ryan's web site - http://www.captainfiddle.com Ryan Thomson played these tunes by request during taping of a TV show on his music making. The recording was done in a hurry so some tunes are only once or less through each. This is just an excerpt of the show, and other parts with other instruments and musical styles can be found in other of Ryan's You Tube videos. The tunes on this video consist of: Top of Cork Road, Haste to the Wedding, Smash the Windows, Road to Lisdoonvarna, Morrison's Jig, and Drowsy Maggie, and Cooley's Reel. Top of Cork Road is also called "Father O Flynn." Ryan performs and teaches these tunes. Visit his web site for information on his performances, instructional videos, books, and recordings.

Parts of it sounds almost identical to Irish Washerwoman...

@NatureLover987 Yes, many irish tunes have parts in common with each other.

do you know where one might find the sheet music to that?

I'm happy that you enjoyed my playing. I have published fiddle tune books with written music and teaching CDs for most of the tunes in this medley, including the first tune - Top of Cork Road. These books are listed on my web site along with ordering information. (my web site address is in the description of this video)
