The Southwest Wind
This is very similar to Connie the Soldier. However there are some differences. This is the tune (more or less) as played by Todd Denman & Dale Russ and by Veronica McNamara. It is more of a Sligo version, to my ears, than the simpler Connie the Soldier as played by Seamus Creagh, James Carty, and others.

This is a nice version but personally I think it's too similar to the version posted previously to deserve a slot of its own.

Micho Russel plays a tune under this name on a TV clip, along with a jig he calls 'The Little Black Pig" which I haven't found so far here.

The second one on the clip is an old version of the "Walls of Liscarrol." A similar version is here: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2899 Of course, it's not exactly the same.
