SWEETS OF MAY, THE (Aoibhneas na Bealtaine). AKA and see "Follow Me Down to Carlow (2)." Irish, Set Dance (6/8 time). D Major (Keegan, Sullivan): G Major (Mulvihill, Tubridy). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Mulvihill): AA'BB'CC' (Sullivan, Tubridy). The song "Follow Me Up to Carlow," uses the first two parts of the tune. The Sweets of May set-dance is danced primarily in northern Ireland; some say it is traditional to County Armagh. South Armagh fiddler Josephine Keegan (2002) prints dance instructions along with the music for two versions: an ‘older’ one and a more recent melody.
