Nice O'Carolan tune. Can be played slowly or quickly. Its probably originally in C, or so I've seen it written and played, but its far easier to play in G and sounds fine... to me least. It might be more dotted than I've written out, but again sound OK to me this way... What do you expect from a sponge!

Where did you learn it, zoronic?

Learned it
I probably learned it from an old O'neil's book I had many years ago. I learned all the easier O'Carolan stuff.
. Like classical music so that's what attracted me.

On coulter's Celtic Sessions CD...
I fell in love with this tune after hearing William Coulter & Friends do it on his Celtic Session CD. There's a nice little rhythmic thing to it that makes it different, and therefore, for some, hard to 'get', but the patience of pursuit pays off, I think.
