tune name please

http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/comhaltaslive_281_5_bronwyn_de_paor/
If that link works, does anyone know the name of the hornpipe played by the inimitable Bronwyn de Paor? It might help me to play it better if I know the name. I've tried abc searches with no luck.

Hmm, has a modern-day Tommy Peoples flavour - just checked the Quiet Glen and there it is, The Mouse in the Attic. I think it's a reel though.

OK so it is nominally a hornpipe.

Re: tune name please

For me it also has the feel of a hornpipe.......

Re: tune name please

Thank you . It was introduced as a hornpipe, and I think that fits the tune. Good name!

Another great Tommy Peoples composition which has that unique "Peoples" feel to it. From memory (I've mislaid my copy of the "Quiet Glen" CD) this tune was paired with another newly composed hornpipe by Tommy called the "Fat Cat".
