I got this one from the Cathal McConnell whistle course. It lends itself well to that rocking "concertina style" of playing that Micho Russell was so well-known for. The B part is exactly the same as the A part of The Boy in the Gap only in G instead of D. Playing the two tunes back-to-back works out quite nicely. Cathall McConnell starts off the set with The Fairhaired Boy
