Transcription
I transcribed it from the BBC programme "Transatlantic Sessions" October 2009. I have assumed that Jenna Reid wrote the tune as her name was shown as the main musician. Please can you correct this assumption if you know differently.
On the programme it is played AABBCC (as per usual) but ends with a reprise of the "A".
I play it too fast and ruin it. On the programme it is really quite a lilting slow waltz.
And yes, some of the chords do not look as tho' they fit with the harmonic structure of the bar but they add a little tension and resolve themselves.

I think it probably is one of Jenna's tunes. The Bethany in question is Jenna's sister.
