I know I have this tune on another recording but can't place it - maybe the title is different

Donough, you may be thinking of the Brendan Ring recording, Troublesome Things. Mr. Ring likes the tune so much, he records it twice on the sam CD! The first track is a medley of three tunes on whistle, closing out with the Lisnagun (Tyrell's Pass and the Coolinarne Jig are the others). Later he pairs it with Brian O'Linn on pipes.

Donough, Trouble In The Kitchen recorded it, and I assume you have their album, so maybe it's that.

You got that one right NB, thanks for putting me out of my misery. I gather those guys are coming over here next year for our Festival (Fairbridge) after the National - fancy coming over as well?

Before this disappears, what would be the dates of those festivals, Donough ?

You can hear this tune deftly executed on fiddle by out own 'pitnekit' (Marco Fonseca) on The MIghty Craic Online. He also plays it as a reel.

I learned this tune from Brendan Bulger's self-titled album, played in a set with Knocknagow. Great tune.
