Condon's Frolics
Condon's Frolics doesn't sound at all like Castletown Conners.
It does sound very similar to Sliabh Russell to me, though.

There are at least two tunes called Castletown Connors, and this is one of them.

Condon's Frolics
Reading through a Spanish phrase book a few days ago, I found something very funny about the title of this jig. Sorry, I won't go into detail. Just use your imagination.
As far as I know, pipers like to play this in Ador, but it's commonly played in Edor, especially in Clare and Galway.

'Comment' from the above rescued duplication ~
# Posted on June 5th 2009 by olciamis ~ whose English is much better than my Polish...
My english demands polishing because I'm polish. Joke. But please, concentrate and try to understand=)
I haven't known it for this name by myself. But I have started my adventure with a celtic music with the album Cuilidh by Julie Fowlis and I found this recording here http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display.php/2919, and then I saw the track 6 (not only) is not described yet. The first jig was named The Thatcher, so I accepted this name and tried to write notes.
Condon's Frolics is actually the same tune. But it demands to connect it with Julie Fowlis>Cuilidh>track 6>1st jig
