Dermie Diamond's
From Harry Bradley's 1st CD. Harry has a lot of wee variation as he plays this tune, but this, I think would be the basic version. He named it after his source for the tune, the fine fiddler, and once-upon-a-time banjo player, Dermie Diamond from Belfast.

This is originally a Highland!
Harry Bradley writes: "The second I heard from Belfast born fiddler Dermie Diamond who plays it as a highland."

The title of the original highland version of the tune is "McConnell's Highland." It might be a variant of Scottish tune "Sandy Ower Da Lea."
