this tune can also be found on the chieftain's 'Santiago' in dueling chanters -it is the first of two tunes, the other one being a galician tune.

A nice one to follow Tripping Up the Stairs, similar but not too much the same.

You can hear an amazing rendition of this tune at http://www.kittylieover.com/biog.htm. The first video clip is Mick o'Brien and Caoimhin o'Raghallaigh playing in a club in Carlow. Remarkable stuff.

Watch master piper Neil Mulligan play the jig: http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/comhaltaslive_317_2_neil_mulligan

This is a great demonstration of how an old simple tune can be turned into a gem.
