My source for this tune is If the cap fits. I have never heard anyone else playing it. I wondered if his version is in anyway unusual as a lot of his settings are.
Good Luck.

Like you, i've never heard anybody but Kevin Burke play it. It's getting to be like a missing tooth when I heard "Ger the Rigger" & " Bill Sullivan's", which EVERYbody plays.

Jackie Daly plays this pretty much the same as shown here on Music of Sliabh Luachra. It's a lot of fun to play though repetitive. Daly also follows it with Ger the Rigger.

In Breathnach's CRE it's shown but it doesn't seem like the same tune to me
