Ok, I need a recording of St. Pats that plays through left foot of the set, and then repeats so it goes through twice. I thought for sure I could find a download somewhere, but I'm running into a problem where every search that includes the words "st patricks day" brings up a ton of junk having to do with shamrocks and leprechauns and green beer.

I have heard that the Sandymount Set by Pat King has it, but I'm not sure if thats played competition style (which would not have the set on the left foot) or like the complete St. Pats.

Can anyone help me out? I dont mind paying a reasonable amount for a track, but I'd rather not order a whole CD.

If you have music editing software on your computer, you could probably make one pretty easily. I know of one that has competition-style repeats, but I don't know one that plays left foot of set then repeats the step. If I find one I'll let you know!

I have a version that I got from a CRN album that goes:

Step (Intro)
Step R
Step L
1st Set R
1st Set L
Step R
Step L
2nd Set R
2nd Set L
Step R
END

I couldn't tell you exactly what the album's name is (I got the track for practice from my old TC), but feel free to PM me if this is what you're looking for and I'll gladly help you find it online!

Olive Hurley sets & solos (I think CD1 - she has about 4 of them!) has left and right of most of the trad sets (st pats, blackbird, job, garden, king, jockey, white blanket, 3 sea captains) - think St. Pat's may be longer on there too, but can't tell you exactly how long. Definitely has left foot though. About music editing software - I know that we downloaded a free trial of one to sort our show music for last year - so that may be an option!

It's actually Volume 3 There's the 1st step, 1st set, 2nd step, 2nd set all right/left feet, then a final step on the right foot only. It's pretty long. Volume 2 also has St. Pat's, but it only has 1st step, 1st set, 2nd step (or 1st step again) all right/left. Volume 1 doesn't have St. Pat's on there at all.

Oh, yes, I can just imagine the things such a search would unearth!

I have a complete St. Pat's, but in the ancient medium of cassette tape, so I'm glad others pointed you to more modern alternatives.
