Peter Tuohey's (jig)
Learnt from Marcas O'Murchu's flute playing. It seems he learnt it from his grandmother's neighbour Barney Conlon, who recorded music with John McKenna in New York in the 1920s. According to the notes, the jig appears as "Nancy Hynes's" in O'Neill's.
It obviously has echos of some well-known tunes like "Banish Misfortune" and "the Cook in the Kitchen."
