Does anyone know the name of this one?
I don't know the name of this tune, but I think it may be the coolest polka ever.

Recording
This one was recorded by Patrick Street, I think as one of the
'' Walsh' s Polkas".

Locha Cross
I'm sure I have several recordings of this tune. Only one I've found so far is by Kerry box-player Denis Doody. He called it "Locha Cross".
"Patrick Street" have a set of 3 polkas on their 3rd LP starting with "Walsh's", but this tune is not one of them. Is there a "Walsh's" set on one of the other albums?

Julia Clifford's version
This has a cool g instead of F in the B part (as written below), which makes it stand out. As usual, B part is played 1st - can't figure out which is correct, but what does it matter anyway.
