KILRUDDERY HUNT. Irish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Compare with Holden's own "Nurses Tune (The)," "Old Man Rocking the Cradle (The)" and Goodman's "Cailín Deas Donn (3)," tunes that are not identical but cover the same melodic and harmonic ground and which are probably related.
