Willie Clancy's

A great reel from the playing of Liam O'Flynn.

Eel in the Sink

It sounds to me like a variant of The Eel in the Sink.

There is a typo in the last bar, there is for sure no high b at this point of the melody, it has to be B.
Great reel!!

Another source

Identified on Chulrua's "Down the Back Lane" as "Micho Russell's" and played thus:

|EGAB c2dc|BGGG BGAG|EGAB c2eg|gedg eAAG|
EGAB c2dc|BGGG BGAG|EGAB c2eg|gedg eAAA||
a2ea aged|^cdef g2ag|eaab agef|gedg eAAA|
eaab aged|^cdef g2ag|eaag egde|gedg eAAG||

The B part similarities with Eel in the Sink are as striking as the A parts are rythmically different.
