Bold Doherty
This is the jig version of the song recorded by Dervish, amongst others (for a clip, go here http://www.mp3sale.ru/track.php?ms_trackid=118032). There's a similar tune here already which is probably based on the same song, but there are significant differences in the B-part to warrant a separate posting, I think http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2680. The version I've posted is based on the setting on Angelina Carberry's "An Traidisiun Beo".
Here's the version I recorded at a session when I first heard the tune a few years ago, before I heard Angelina Carberry's recording:
