I first learned this from an old Ceili Band recording (Tulla?), it's also on Kathleen Collins album in this setting. Matt Molloy recorded a three part setting of this tune on "Molloy, Brady Peoples" (not sure if the title is in that order) which is popular with some flute players but four parts seems to be the more common setting. Fun tune thats got a lot of bounce
