If I remember rightly, Kevin Burke does not repeat the 2nd part - it's an AAB tune (see also discussion on 3-part single reels).

It seems that Cape Breton fiddlers normally call this reel "Dillon Brown's" or "Dillon Brown's Fancy." Another tune with the same title in G was recetly posted: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/6863
