This is such a beautiful tune peter. I didnt realise it was a Paddy O'Brien tune - I shouldve guessed he has such great tunes.

Paddy O'Brien

To avoid any confusion, it was composed by Paddy O'Brien "the younger" - (as Peter says, from Offaly,) - not the late Paddy from Nenagh, which is maybe who bb was thinking about.
