Any information? Could this be a composition of either Jennifer or Hazel Wrigley? Certainly sounds modern...

Yes, I think it is their own composition.
I've also heard this tune referred to as 'The International Pier Sliding Championships Theme'...

The Trowlie Dart

The Wrigley's Skyran album credits Jennifer as the composer of the tune. It is paired on the album with The Hen-Pen-Dirlo: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/11320

and is indeed the theme for International Pier Sliding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll_djL9-OxI

The Wrigley's play the tunes more like barndances than reels with a lot of swing.

Great tunes from a great album.
