Does anybody know this slide?

This is one of the slides I played with Leeds Ceili Band some months ago. Nobody had the name for it. I found a couple of similar tunes in the database of this site, but they aren't quite the same.

Any information will be welcome.

Dawley's Delight

Cheers Dow for informing the title of this slide and reminding me of the tune itself. I nearly forgot about it.

It's also on the last track of this recording: http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/1768

It's I that play the whistle on it.
