Bouncy tune ... anyone know the history or origin of it?

Just found it on those NPU set dancing tapes

I hope someone will chime in. I only know it from the Sliabh Luachra set on NPU's tape Round the House. That set was played by Brendan Begley, Steve Cooney, and Gerry Bevan.

At http://www.qmcorp.net/zouki/webabc/tedd/201591.abc they have it on B.Breathnach:"Ceol Rince na hEireann" III/77 - that means Dance Music of Ireland, right?

At http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/TU.htm#TUREENGARBH_GLEN they mention Denis Doody Kerry Music.

Okay, take it away, y'all. It's polkas like this one that are making me think of trading in the concertina for a button accordion.

Denis Doody and the bane of 'Gan Ainm'

When Denis did his lovely record, highly recommended but sadly no longer available as far as I've been able to find, he had a stock of tune he hadn't names for, Gan Ainms. Well, the recording company insisted that they had to have names. So, he made them up on the spot. The problem after that was taking requests when he was doing concerts. He hadn't a clue what they were on about...
