Version from Oisin Mac Diarmada's recording on Traditional Music on Fiddle, Banjo and Harp. In the sleeve notes it says that Tommy Peoples plays this tune as a waltz (Jocelyn's) on The Quiet Glen.
I also have a recording of Tommy Peoples playing this jig in a set with the informative name "Two Jigs" on the CD "Fiddle Sticks - Irish Traditional Music from Donegal".
In typical Peoples' style, this jig covers two octaves in 1 1/2 bars - a great excercise for arpeggios and intonation!

A great jig with a lovely melody - melody always seems to be a strong feature on any of Tommy Peoples compositions (Grainne's jig, Green Fields of Glentown reel, etc.). The first time I heard this tune was when Tommy handed it to a fiddle class in Ennis about 9 years ago as "The Jocelyn Tree".
