Another nameless polka
Anyone help with a name for this one?
I got it from this clip of Sliabh Notes.

By total chance the first tune is this one I transcribed from another clip a couple of days ago http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/9520
The middle tune is the Magic Slipper

Another nameless polka ~
~ and, yes, familiar, though I have a very different take on the A-part. I'll have to set aside some time, maybe this weekend, to see if I can chase up names for your two recent gan ainms. Curiously, I was listening to Matt Cranitch & friends this morning. I enjoy their musicianship, though they do tend to push things for the punters, tempo-wise... Matt is also a fairly prolific composer of polkas...
I love it that a GHB player on Skye is playing Irish polkas. I so wish we'd headed up there for the Easter holidays, to chase you up Bogman, though I do have a preference Islay malts. That being admitted, I've never had a single malt I didn't appreciate. There's a love and appreciation for a bit of Scottish swing in Ireland as well, a long history of it...

Just came across this polka being played by Jeremy Spencer and Sean Leahy on youtube, they gave the name as being The Rocky Road to Mount Collins by Dan Murphy Abbeyfeale
