I've had Gillian Welch's song 'Hard Times' in my head for a few days.  With everything that's going on in the world, I feel it resonates.

Hard Times

The backing track to Black Pat's by Tommy Peoples.  Played at 100bpm.

The tune was originally written in F but it's played in a most sessions I know in G.  The music will be on The Session, and is also in the Tommy Peoples tune book.

KARAFOLKIE Black Pats 100bpm

You can probably find the sheet music on The Session

KARAFOLKIE Ale Is Dear 100bpm

Written by the mighty Liz Carroll.  I'd say this tune is 99% likely to be in her first tune book 'Collected'.

KARAFOLKIE Pat And Al's 130bpm

Written by piper Finlay MacDonald.  Its full title is Elliot Finn MacDonald, and the music for it is on The Session.

The sheet music is definitely in the Gordon Duncan tune book - the first one.
