Caroline Kilbane
I met Caroline Kilbane [ and I hope I’ve got her name right ] at a Willie Clancy week flute class I think in 1986. She’s a very fine flute player from somewhere in the south of England. I recorded her playing this tune at the final of an All-Britain fleadh in Glasgow some years back, and unfortunately didn’t get a chance to ask her about the tune afterwards. It’s one of those odd tunes which is a bit between a reel and a hornpipe. I’ve used a bit of imagination here, because I’m sure it’s a tune that on a fiddle or box would go below the range of D, all the way down to a low G. Definitely not a tune to play in a flute competition, for that reason, but it’s a tune I’ve always liked, and I thought it time to put out into wider circulation. If anyone has a name / source for it, I’d be grateful.

Miss Thornton's
It sounds to me like a version of Miss Thornton's. It is quite different though.
