Frankie Gavin
Frankie Gavin wrote it. I've transcribed it from "Tunes" by Sharon Shannon, Frankie Gavin, Michael McGoldrick And Jim Murray.
Though they play it in D but I think it's better to post it in G here so whistles and flutes etc. can play it too. If I should've posted it in D then I'm sorry.
Anyway here in D too:

Mmm...
Are you sure? it's very similar to The Galway Ramber but I think this is another tune.
Did Frankie Gavin write The Galway Ramber?
# Posted on August 13th 2006 by Pere
Similarities
There are similarities, but enough to make it a different tune. Maybe Frankie was subconsciously thinking of the "Rambler" when he wrote it. If he wrote it in "D" , then that's the key you should have posted it in, in my opinion.
"The Galway Rambler" is much older than Frankie Gavin.

Actually I don't know if he wrote it in D or in G. Anyway maybe you're right and I should've posted it in D...

Better in G than D for flutes and whistles!!!!!!
Pere you say:" Though they play it in D but I think it's better to post it in G here so whistles and flutes etc. can play it too"
Standard flutes are in D aren't they?Don't understand your reasoning sorry
# Posted on August 13th 2006 by meri-lawes
Ok sorry I didn't explain it well. I mean the lowest note in whistles and flutes is D, so if this tune is played in D the notes below D couldn't be played. B, and A, in this tune.
I'm not good at explaining...

Give Pere a break - at least he posted the D version in the comments section
Anyway, I find that I only feel like learning newly-composed tunes if they are original-sounding material. I think this one's too much like the Galway Rambler so there'd always be other tunes out there that attract me more immediately. Sorry Frankie. I like Alice's Reel though.
