Maggie in the Woods

This polka is Maggie in the Woods, which is usually played for the last figure of the Connemara set.

The first one in the clip is Maggie in the Woods, but the tune mandokid has transcribed is the next tune in the YouTube set.

Sword Colmcille

And the third one in the set is the Church St. polka http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1560 - then they go back to Maggie in the woods to finish.
