Does anybody know the name of this Reel Gán Ainm?

I have played this reel for a good while but I never got and can't find a name for it. I have asked around but nobody seems to know it. I got it at a workshop during the summer of last year...
1st part;
B D' G'E'D' BGAB_ GBAGEG D GGFG ABD' E'G'D' BAB GA
B D' G'E'D' BGAB_ GBAGEG D GGFG ABD' G'E'D' B G_ GA
2nd part;
BG GGG DG GGG G'_E'G'D'GBD' G_'F'G' E'D'BD' E'A'A'G'A'_
G'A'B'_ A'B'A'G'E'F'G'_E'G'D' BAB G_EG DGBD' G'E'D'B G_

Thanks!!

Reverends Search is throwing up Lansdowne Lass? Is that it?

That looks suspiciously like Catherine McEvoy's version of ABC notation. Did you learn this tune at 2008 East Durham Catskill Irish Arts Week, by any chance? If so, I'll look it up and let you know when I get home from work this evening.

There are two postings of this tune here, one as The Baltimore Salute:
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1849
and the other (closer to your setting, Skylark) as The Lansdowne Lass:
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2192 . However, I think that the first title is the correct one, the second title belonging to a different tune altogether:
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4095

Both are Josie McDermott compositions.

Thanks very much. Yes "The Salute to Baltimore" and "The Lansdown Lass" are both very a like. Thanks again! :-)
