"The Lodge Road", in Gaelic "Botar na Congbail" or "Botar Tig an Geata" is an Irish set dance in<br> 2/4 time in D Major. The parts are played AABB (Callaghan, Mulvihill, O'Neill) or AABB' (Roche).<br> Roche states that his version is "From O'Neill, slightly altered".<br> As with most set dances, the parts are unequal; the 1st strain has the usual 8 measures, while<br> the 2nd has 12 measures. The tune has lately become popular in English sessions. The first strain<br> is shared with "Sir Robert Bruce's Hornpipe" found in the large mid-19th century music manuscript<br> collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper Canon James Goodman. <br> It was printed in Callaghan's Hardcore English (2007),<br> Cotter's Traditional Irish Tin Whistle Tutor (1989),<br> Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986),<br> O'Neill (Krassen) (1976)<br> O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903),<br> O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907) and<br> Roche's Collection of Traditional Irish Music, vol. 3 (1927). <br> It was recorded by The English Country Blues Band on Home and Deranged (1983) and on<br> Stepping Up (2004).<br> <br>
