I first heard this played in the Plough and Stars bar in San Francisco. The musicians were Patrick Ourceau (fiddle) and Andrew MacNamara (C#/D accordion). They told me it was an old east Clare reel from Joe Bane of Bodyke who played it on whistle. Joe and his partner Bill Maley (fiddle) were known for their playing at house dances around their local area near Tulla in Co. Clare.
