I tried the A dor, but the C dor sounded much better to me. Has anyone heard this played in sessions? And in which keys?

Reminds me a little of the Abbey Reel in slip jig form.

The tune is a pipe tune by A. J. MacNeil (whether it is the same guy as the tune is named after I dont know). It is originally in A dorian though.
