A lvely hornpipe that is guaranteed to fly in any session.

For the avoidance of doubt it should be "lively" hornpipe!

The Marquis Of Lorne
I like this tune. Joe Hutton used to play it exactly as you've posted it, Trevor, all except for the final bar, which he had as |gdba g2|

A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet...
But this tune, going by the name of 'Sligo Fancy' has a swing rhythm.

Since I posted my comment in 2004, I've been hearing a Dmaj setting of this with Cnats in the B-part in my local session. They're obviously settings of the same tune, but are incompatible. I've tried to play along using my setting and just flatting the 7th in the B-part, but it hasn't worked, and I've ended up learning the Dmaj one as a separate tune. That setting has been posted onto the database here: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/5131.
