There may be another title for this tune associated with flute player, Michael Hynes (he's recently recorded a nice flute/fiddle CD with Denis Liddy called Waifs & Strays) and I know it also features in the repertoire of the Tulla Ceili Band. I'm also not too sure on the key signature which is sort of modal (an area where I'm a bit challenged!!) although it seems to work OK in G; look out for the F natural in bar 1 of the turn which gives the tune that extra character.
