Thanks, Gian Marco. I was just thinking about requesting the tune. Paul Smyth and Michael Cooney's flute and pipes duet is superb!

This tune is one of three that Kevin Burke got from the harmonica-playing Murphy family of Wexford (?). He recorded them together with the Murphy's as The Raheen Medley. This tune is, I think, the last in the set. The second is The Trip to Cullenstown, http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2996, and the first is a tune in A-dorian, for which I do not have a name, and which does not seem to have been posted here yet. I will post it if anyone can give me a name for it.
