LODGE ROAD, THE ("Botar na Congbail" or "Botar Tig an Geata"). Irish, Set or Long Dance (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Callaghan, Mulvihill, O'Neill): AABB' (Roche). "From O'Neill, slightly altered" (Roche). As with most set dances, the parts are unequal; the 2nd strain has 12 measures. The tune has become popular in English sessions, notes Barry Callaghan (2007), who believes it may have been popularized by melodeon player Martin Ellison in the 1980's.
