Tune title

From http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/11897/

"Is he the "Hickey" referred to in http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/7817 by any chance? Or is that someone else altogether."

From the sleeve notes of Liz Doherty's "Last Orders":

"Derek Hickey, a great player from Adare, Co. Limerick taught me this first jig. We never did find a name for it!"

Kind of answers the question.
