Conal's
The second tune of the opening set on Aoife Granville's cd, "Sráid Eoin Shuffle". It is played in the set after the Charlie Lennon composition, "A Parcel of Land", and before, "The Dublin Lads". In her sleeve notes she tells us she, "learned the second from the inimitable Conal Ó Gráda from Cúil Aodha". Aoife thought me this tune in her Scoil Éigse class at Fleadh Cheol na hÉireann an Tullach Mhór, 2008, where she entitled it, "Conal O Gráda's Reel".

Winston....
I heard Conal play this at the Willie Clancy week a few years ago. I'm pretty sure that Dermot Byrne recorded it and called it "Winston In The 50s" - possibly from Cape Breton.

Title...
Dermot Byrne's sleeve notes only say that he learned the tune from the playing of Jerry Holland. You might consider changing the title, "Cian O".
