Finbar Dwyer's favourite http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1159

Statia Donnelly http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1471 is similar but has a slightly different B-part.

It's called John Dwyer's. I read somewhere that Finbar Dwyer named it in honour of one of his immediate relatives, a brother or an uncle, I can't remember which.

Dragut, John is Finbarr's brother .He now lives in New Ross, where he was garda sergeant for years.He plays fiddle and was a founder member of castle ceili band along with sean and james keane.A lot of his music on cce archive under john dwyer and sean dwyer. I have a tune with him now and again in New Ross. His other brothers are Richard (accordion) and Micheal(whistle). They were from Beara Co. Cork originally.They have composed hundreds of tunes between them and John has plans to publish them in the future.
