Does anyone know the name of this one?

I don't know the name of this tune, but I think it may be the coolest polka ever.

Recording

This one was recorded by Patrick Street, I think as one of the
'' Walsh' s Polkas".

Locha Cross

I'm sure I have several recordings of this tune. Only one I've found so far is by Kerry box-player Denis Doody. He called it "Locha Cross".
"Patrick Street" have a set of 3 polkas on their 3rd LP starting with "Walsh's", but this tune is not one of them. Is there a "Walsh's" set on one of the other albums?
