Seamus Ennis's
Dow was asking about this jig after posting "The Absent-Minded Man". This is the jig called "Seamus Ennis's" played by Matt Molloy and Sean Keane on "Contentment Is Wealth".

Familier
Almost certain I've heard this before. I just can't place it.

Kenny, thanks... I also have that album. I was actually hoping someone would post the original setting by Seamus Ennis, which is slightly different. I don't have access to the album at the moment, Forty Years of Irish Piping (track 6). So if someone could post that here in the comments I'd be grateful. The one in the Roche collection seems to be inaccurate.

Seamus Ennis'
As far as I know it's his adaptation (to G) from a tune he got from Johnny Doherty. Each of them used the tune as part their versions of the Foxchase. Never found Ennis naming the tune as such but names referring to the fox are used for it sometimes.
