This is one of the reels occasionally played in Leeds. It's especially popular among the musicians playing at Irish Centre. I always forget to ask how they call it, but Paul McGrattan and Paul O'Shaunessy recorded it as Micho Russell's on their "Within a Mile of Dublin." In JC's it's listed as Sean Reid's Fancy.

This reel is also on Mike Rafferty's latest recording "Speed 78," where it's mistakenly called "Peg McGrath's."
