The same tune, Kenny? I wouldn't have said so. Perhaps they were once. The B-parts are quite similar, but the A-parts don't seem to have any obvious relationship.
BTW, FIDDLE4, I don't think Deirdre Havlin, slick player though she is, would particularly want to be associated with this http://www.havoline.com/.

My first guess was based purely on looking at the "abcs". I'm going to stick my neck out and challenge the accuracy of this transcription. The first part sounds to me like a mangled version of the A-part of John Brady's "Father Newman's". The 2nd part is either, again, some version of "Midsummer's Night" or possibly a Clare reel which I'm sure is here somewhere, but doesn't have a name that I recall.
If the transcription is accurate, then I think - with all due respect to Deirdre Havlin [ and that's a lot ] - that she possibly subconsciously mixed a few tunes up, and came up with this.
I find it very hard to believe the jump from "G" to "b" in bar 3.

Arrgghh, I have a recording of this tune. I'll try and dig it out.

The fourth be with you ~
I left FIDDLE4's choice of notes and pitch alone, as he sent them, or you'd see more spaces.
Here is just a little of my playing around with this transcription. Maybe if we 'alter' it enough it can mutate further into its own sub-species?

Damn, who poked Paddy and woke him up... I didn't see that coming...

No 'c', it's just frustrating when I can't think of a name.
After having a quick look, I couldn't find any commercial recordings but it must have been from a session recording that had it in my head. It was among a bunch of tunes I recorded at a session in the Culthurlann in Monkstown a few months ago. There's no name on the file. Oh well.

Deirdre Havlin, mind my spelling ;; is a very dear an old friend of mine and this is the way she put
it down in the skerries inn one sat night,For me.
Long time ago she might have just learnt it then
dont know ,,, Thanks for Imfo -- jim,,

This is the closest -
Who ever said this - Father Newman's Reel
is going down the right road ,, This might be
the right tune Deirdre said she was only
learning it back then - Thankyou very much for this
jim...

I feel sure I've heard the posted version before somewhere.

Nah, I think you're probably right with Fr. Newman's.
# Posted on June 7th 2007 by Dr. Dow
Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. Finally found out that it was John Williams who recorded it.
