"Gan Ainm Polka" ~
~ played in D, G & A Major
I was surprised not to find this one already here, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of you add 'duplication' to the comments...
However, there is the 'slide' version of it here, and it may even go by the same name:
"Gale Bridge"

"The Moyglass Fair"
Title courtesy of PaddyCmusic via the 'comments' for the slide...
Thanks Paddy, but I must say, that isn't a title that is ringing any bells with me at the moment, but I may have known this, along with many others, as just 'gan ainm'...

"O'Keeffe's" / "Denis Murphy's" ~ thanks again Paddy
Yes, and you can imagine what would happen once that went down as an alternate name. It has also been known as "Denis Murphy's" ~ and ~...

I like your thinking 'c'. It's pointless adding those names as alternative titles.
