This is a belter of a tune courtesy of James Kelly and Paddy O'Brien.
It starts of in A mixolydian and then wanders to A maj for the second part. They (and susequently I and my friends) play it last in a set with Jim Colemans and Patsy Touheys.

Barney, is this a single reel, or a double one?

Hi Zina. Yep this is a single reel.

Nice tune. The first part is best viewed as B dorian, which has 3# like A major, so there is no actual key change and you can stick the G# in the key signature the whole way thru'.
