The Blooming Meadows

Can't remember where this came from, but I was reminded of it when I heard a recording of Cathal Hayden playing it. Reminds me in places of "Coppers & Brass" and "The Hag At The Spinning Wheel".

I read this jig was first recorded by the Old Ballinakill Ceili Band of E. Galway in 1920s or 1930s.
