Does anyone know the name of the lovely jig in the middle of this set?

Thanks, didn't see that. I'm not sure any of the suggestions in that thread were correct, though? I suppose I'd have to get the Sliabh Notes CD to know for sure.

Bears a mild resemblance to Lady of the Lake, in the original O'Neill's:

It's very close to The Angry Peeler / Flowers of the Burren is it not ?

I've always enjoyed how this web site enables cooperative problem solving.... :-)

Nice tune, too. Thanks grego for calling it to my attention.
