Awesome, rockin' little jig
I'm absolutely giddy at being the first to submit this one. It's off a Nomos CD, "Set You Free"; I don't know the author.
Note the similarity of the last phrase to the last phrase of Athol Highlanders. Going into the last turn, Niall and company replace the last two bars with
eee eee | eee eee
...which must drive 'em wild at the live shows. Fantastic jig, I think. Enjoy!

BLUES-MAN?
Rory Gallagher was a famous Irish blues rock guitarplayer, who died much too young; could it be him who wrote or played this one?
