DUBLIN PORTER, THE (Pórtar Dhúlainn). AKA "Dublin Porter House" in Kerry, according to Breathnach (1985). Irish (originally), Canadian; Reel. Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Roche): AA'B (Breathnach): AABB (Cranitch): AABB' (Cranford): AA'BB' (Perlman).
