SECOND WELLINGTON. AKA and see "Bunch of Keys (1)," "Wellington Dance (2)." G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). The melody appears in Book 4 of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist)'s large mid-19th century music manuscript collection as "Wellington Dance (2)." The title "Second Wellington" probably refers to the second change of a cotillion or quadrille called The Wellington.
