Yet another collection to mine for rare gems...
I found this little pearl while digging through my latest tunebook find, "The Roche Collection of Traditional Irish Music" (Volume 1). It is but one of many fine collections that have been made available for free download (sorry, ABC-ers, PDF only) from the Na Piobairi Uilleann website. I'm posting this from my soon-to-be-antiquated mobile "not so smart" phone, so please excuse the ugliness of the ABC's- I will correct them to 4 measures per line as soon as I can get to a real computer (if Jeremy doesn't get to it first, that is!) Enjoy (to the best of your ability)!

John McKenna and Tom Ennis recorded a tune 'Gardiner's Daughter', the name of which was supposedly a nod to one of John Joe Gardiner's sisters.

Gardener's Daughter
Thanks, Prof.- the melody wasn't entirely alien to my ears, and now that you've given me a little history, it absolutely strikes me as a piping tune. Here's my go at the setting from the Roche Collection:
X: 1
T: Gardener's Daughter, The
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
Q:1/4=200
R: reel

it's a little "kitchen sink-y" I know- I just wanted to illustrate some places one could go with the tune. That's probably how the tune lasted this long, anyway...it's pretty malleable!

Only one 'recordings of a tune by that name' so far: how surprising. Is it known by any other name?
It is not that uncommonly heard...
