Got this tune off John Williams's "Steam" -- lovely playing by himself and Liz Carroll. He plays it in a set with Rolling Down the Hill and John Brady's, both here in the archive (although his settings differ somewhat, of course).

Zina you have some lovely tunes. I like that variation you added too. Remind me we have to play this together when we meet up! Plus some Fahy tunes and Exile Of Erin too.

On the recording, they play it on two B whistles, so it sounds in E major. It is played after Dillon Brown http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/6863
