Breeches Mary
A great old tune from the O'Neill collection, I heard it played by Brian McNamarra on pipes accompanied by Grainne Hambly on harp.
This arrangement of the tune is not particulary his style (of ornamentation), it is inspired by the piping of the great Leo Rowsome.

A+ ~ putting the 'a' in one of America's most prized and longest running celebrations of culture, thanks to Jeremy Hughes letting me know he'd forgotten the 'a' in the cut-n-paste I did above. That allows me to make a nod of appreciation and respect toward a great center events, by all accounts I've ever heard... May they live long and prosper \V/
