New Row
A Highland transcribed from the playing of local musicians by Dr Donald Martin of Killybegs.
I couldn't find it listed under this title, nor did it appear when I searched on the first bar.
Relative of The Keel Row don't you think?

Clarify / Confusion?
I'm not sure they are related. I'm thinking they just have titles that sound alike, i.e., the 'new' row and the 'keel' row- perhaps a reference to a particular street or area of a city or town? To further confuse the issue, I've got a polka version that I found online of 'Some Say the Devil's Dead', one of the alternate titles for 'The Keel Row' -

New Row
Just wondered if it was a distant relative of Keel Row. It was the second part put me in mind of it a bit.
Never mind. I'm sure Ceolachan will be along shortly to help with identification.
