The Trip to Athlone (jig) - fiddle tutorial

Here is a quick Irish fiddle tutorial for the melody of The Trip to Athlone, a great Irish session tune.
The full tutorial on this tune will be part of my Complete Irish Fiddler course, find out more at learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk/co....
The Trip to Athlone jig, which also goes by the name of The Newport Lass, was first recorded in 1937, but is probably older than that.
The Trip to Athlone is a popular tune in sessions, so it's a good jig to know. I hope you enjoy learning it.
