Eimear Arkins is an award-winning fiddle player, singer, and dancer from County Clare, now based in St. Louis, Missouri. A multiple All-Ireland champion, she is equally celebrated for her rich traditional fiddle style and her expressive singing, from sean-nós to contemporary folk.
Eimear has toured internationally with ensembles such as Cherish The Ladies, Téada, and The Paul Brock Band, and has represented Ireland at cultural showcases worldwide. Her debut album What’s Next? (2018) was praised for its fresh take on Irish tradition, and her follow-up Here & There (2024) reflects both her Clare roots and her life in the U.S. Whether on stage or in the classroom, Eimear is known for bringing warmth, virtuosity, and authenticity to Irish music.

The first track of her album Here & There is a set which starts with the jig Scully Casey's. On thesession this tune is written as a slide. As I could not find an abc-file written as a jig I used this for my tab. There is a video of Flute Player Hatao on youtube which contains staff notation for the tune as a jig.
The bouzouki player on the album is Alan Murray who seems to become one of my favourite bouzouki players at the moment.
This is the album version:
Now I made a tab in 6/8 which is easier to read, you can find it here.
