The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
I’ve always associated this tune with John McKenna of Co. Leitrim. I believe it has another name, which may be found on the sleeve notes of other recordings which I don’t have!
