Hi Paul,
This is called the Chicken Reel composed by Martin O Conor and Frankie Gavin after school one day (cd notes) it is followed by Mrs McCloud's and then Jimmy Kelly's Reel.
I will put up the CD's in the recordings shortly. A fantastic album!

Played fast, it's a belter of a tune, as on De Danann's "Song For Ireland".

The bars with rests in them in the sixth part could be snazzed up with an extra ornament, something like:
||:g/z/ (3GBg f3e| |g/z/ (3GBg fedB|
-And I got the numbers and letters of the rests the wrong way round in part 6 - they should read z3, not 3z.

And I meant flat A and B where I've indicated sharps - what a carry-on...
