Title

does anyone know the name of that tune?

This is gonna sound silly, but it's very close to a reel setting of the Golden Castle Hornpipe (Caislean an Oir), down a fifth and rushed, straight.

Yes, but this transcription doesn't scan right. Shouldn't the final bar of the A-part be ~ | EDDC D2 :

In other words ~

~ without that extra bar at the end...

Tjhe YouTube starts later than the actual tune did, the reason I suspect for the strange transcription with 9 bars in the B-part. He's playing it pretty much the way I've given your transcription ~ AABB, 8 bars for each part, 32 bars in total, not 33...

Oops! I forgot to remove that ending ~ |[1 ~

Duplication ~ ~ "Caisleán An Óir"

He's playing a hornpipe not a reel... Here's the comparison, having transposed directly from the Gdor version given on site here ~

I revised the ABC according to ceolachan's comments. Actually in the youtube video the playing doesn't start at the true beginning of the tune.
