I learned it on the album Roseland Barndance by North Cregg, who learned themselves it from the Cork-based Four Star Trio.

Gan Ainm
I transcribed the untitled tune which precedes this one on the same album, so as not to confuse with yours. I believe that North Cregg actually transposed Sonny Rian's polka to A in order to arrange a neat set with the previous polka which key is G.
