This one isn't "daggy"
I learned this Italian tune from Mayo flute player Paul Smyth's solo album. It originally comes from another flute player John Skelton, and hence the title. But does anybody know the original tune or song?

Skelton's...
It's a cool tune: I particularly like the way the rhythmic structure and how it changes between the sections. That leads me to believe it's Breton in origin. Thanks for posting it: it will work well on the hurdy gurdy!

This isn't Breton but French, though as a nice tune it has probably spread, as it has to this site. It's from the Massif Central and is in the first volume of the Collection by the same name, tune #75:
"The Massif Central Tune Book No.1"
compiled by Mel Stevens
Dragonfly Music, 1987
- in two volumes...

I've just listened to the midi and it doesn't sound anything like a mazurka.You should post mazurkas in a dotted rhythm.

Ignore the midi file.

This is another one that for some reason I find myself throwing in the occassional 'snap'...
