So I should or should not ask you to point me toward a recording?
Hmm... that's a difficult question.
Mostly because I don't know of it being on a recording. I'm sure it is, but I only know really know it from hearing it out and about. It's a slip jig in Eminor, and it's used a lot for stepdancing, which is why I ended up playing it a lot during the festivals, and is also why it becomes an earworm round St. Patrick's Day.
Actually, having said that, I just went and looked it up. Looks as if it's on a lot of dodgy recordings, which makes sense cos it's a common tune, but it does also appear to be both on the Bothy Band's 1975 The First and Chulrua's Barefoot on the Altar. I know I've got the latter; I'll see what I can do about finding it and copying you the track.
