"The Hut In The Bog", in Gaelic "An Bothán sa bPortach", also known as<br> "Hunt in the Bog", "The Cashmere Shawl" or "On the Road to Lurgan" is an<br> Irish reel in A Dorian.<br> The parts are played AB or AABB. The Traditional Tune Archive website has a<br> version with a C part but the first two measures are simply repeated twice<br> with the final two measures of the B part are tacked on. O'Neill's<br> "The Cashmere Shawl" has these first and third parts of this tune.<br> I have used only the A and B parts.<br> The banjo tab is by John Letscher from the playing of Lynn "Chirps" Smith<br> who played lead fiddle in the Volo Bogtrotters string band.<br> John notes:<br> Note that measures 10, 12, and 14 are different.<br> There can be a great temptation to play them the same way.<br> It was printed in Breathnach's CRÉ I (1963).<br> It was recorded by Topic Belhavel Trio on Irish Dance Music (1995),<br> Paddy Killoran on Milestone at the Garden. Irish Fiddle Masters from the<br> 78 RPM Era (1949),<br> John Vesey on Sligo Fiddler (1954),<br> Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh on The Nervous Man - Traditional Irish Music on<br> Concertina (2000),<br> Paddy Canny on Traditional Music from the Legendary East Clare Fiddler (1997)<br> and many others.<br>
