Good tune, but it sounds quite similar to the Humors of Drinagh:

Don't worry Dafydd. Posting a Gan Ainm like this is the best way to find a name for a tune and if you had posted a search under the ABC's of the tune's first bar, you would not have come up with the Humours of Drinagh. But if you had posted the second bar it probably would have worked. This is where computers sometimes don't do the job as well as some humans - like SMW.
It's now up to Jeremy to decide if it would be better to shift this tune setting to the comments section of the other tune.
Cheers

I posted all the bars one at a time. Nothing.
