The East Clare Reel

Lifted this tune from Conor Kean's 1993 Tape, Cooley's House.

It looks, to me, like a completely different tune to the East Clare I already found on this site?

There was some debate over the name, which might interest you, check it out here:

Sorry Conor, of course this is how I should have spelt your surname - Keane!
