This is Micho Russell’s version of the famous march “The Battle of Aughrim”. It is not very different from the common version but I love Micho’s phrasing of the tune and thought I’d post his way of playing it.
It is very often followed by another great march, “Napoleon Crossing The Alps”, also know as “Bonnie Crossing The Alps”.

Hi Charles,
This beautiful tune has been on my ‘to do’ list for ages. Thankfully your latest video has prompted me to get on and learn it !
Hey Clive! Glad to hear that! Just to warn you this version is not exactly the most common one. It is close enough but most people play it a bit differently! This is my favourite version though
Hope you’re keeping well!
