Stephen Cooney wrote this tune, played by Sharon Shannon on her self-titled cd. They do it in F#minor, but Em is a more fiddle friendly key.

The Barra MacNeils also play it in F#minor as part of a set...A great piece.

This reel is very aptly named: It's full of adrenaline and attitude, sudden changes of direction...
It is one of the first 'modern' Irish tunes I've heard. As such it stood out for quite some time before the flood of 'new generation' tunes broke the lilting gait...
Do yo know when it was written?

Probably written around the eighties.

1983 ?

We can be more precise than that - if the above link works, that's to a "Youtube" live recording from 1983. I'm pretty sure I heard them playing it in Edinburgh in 1982.
