It's very much like The Man of the House - but with just enough nuances to make it a different tune.

Another Tom Moylan tune
Welcome to the site , Sean. There's another fine tune which mention's your father's name - "Tom Moylan's Frolic" ! Joe Burke recorded it on one of his "Outlet" label recordings in the 70s, and it was also recorded a few years back by Fermanagh flute/whistle player Larry Nugent. I'll post it in the next few days.
I reckon if you played the reel Gian Marco's posted, 99% of Irish musicians would call it "The Man Of The House". It looks to me as if Paddy Carty's been up to a bit of mischief, and renamed the tune to give your father a mention. That's my theory , anyway Good luck.
P.S. - a shot in the dark. There are 2 LP covers of "Outlet" LPs by Joe Burke solo and also with Sean Maguire which were taken in a pub. Wouldn't have been Moylan's by any chance?

A fine day indeed
I learned this rockin' version from Denis Lanctot. I love the way the rolls make it percolate along in the fiddle's low register playing it in A dorian.

Don't really see why this is a separate tune from Man Of The House. If you started this at any session, people would join in and play Man Of The House regardless, and would probably take the p*ss if you tried to convince them these were anything other than slightly different settings of the same tune.

I agree. Very nice version and nice title, but this is Man of the House.

And why is Paddy O'Brien and Kane Sisters' version of the tune in Dm posted in the comment space? It's much more different. http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/222/comments
