This is a neat jig that Natalie McMaster uses to lead off on her live album on the barn-dance disc (2).

Nomenclature

Leo Rowsome recorded it on his LP "Ri Na Piobairi" [King of the Pipers] and gives this tune that same name.

It's possible Natalie got it Johnny Doherty, who recorded it on "Bundle and Go" under the title given here.

This is a nice tune and worth the trouble to learn it.
