Another nice one. Your fiddling of these tunes is so nice. One of these days I'm gonna have to try playing Irish stuff, although I'm not sure I'm up for the learning curve...lol. In the meantime, just loving to hear yours.

Ah, shame you deleted it, this is one of my favourite Irish jigs. I play this one with The Miller of Glanmire, they go very well together.

I've recently gotten interested a bit in Irish piping styles over time, and thought you might be interested in this early recording of Patsy Touhey

I think this could be the earliest audio recording of this tune.

That recording is part of a collection of 32 cylinders believed to have been recorded by Chief Francis O'Neill between 1900 and 1905. They are part of the Dunn Family Collection at the Ward Irish music archive, which is a great resource for those interested in Irish-American music and culture: wardirishmusicarchives.com/
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) also has a large cylinder collection, including Irish music from that era played on pipes, violin and melodeon. As far as I can tell, the earliest recordings of Irish music were made in New York (with a few from London), although not always by Irish musicians.
Glad you mentioned your second version. I'm off to give a listen.

PS - I guess that link in your first post is still the first version. I get the "removed" black box.
