Gan Ainm

This is my first tune, so sorry if there is anything wrong with it.
I learnt it at Tara O'Carolan CCE, Manchester.
I have no idea what it's called.

I know this tune as the Knockawinna and I've also heard it recorded as the Galway Jig.

I have just found out that this tune was composed by concertina player Mícheál Ó hÉidhin, and was popularised by the Siamsa Ceili Band from Co. Louth.

This is on ComhaltasLive played by Brian Conway's niece. Nice tune that I've never heard other than that clip.
