Is this an Irish Jig?

# Posted on July 2nd 2005 by dafydd

I think I heard this tune played by an Irish piper on a radio programme. Maybe related to The Castlebar Races: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1160

It's closer to Mist On The Meadows http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1205.

Hang on I think I know this though. I need to have a look at some papers...

It's in the Northumbrian Minstrelsy (1880s) as The Cooper O' Stannerton Heugh.

I wonder if this is an ancestor of Mist On The Meadows...
