Nora Crionna

I came across this tune on Galway flute master Sean Moloney's recent solo album. I think it's identical to what Paul McGrattan and Paul O'Shaughnessy recorded as the jig version of Colliers Reel.

Don't get it?

Sorry, slainte - I just don't see any similarity betwen "Nora Crionna" and "The Collier's Jig", posted on this website under it's alternative title of "Do You Want Anymore?". To my ears , they are two distinct tunes. Am I missing something? Maybe the 2 Pauls got the name wrong. What does Sean Moloney call it?

Sorry, I confused two different tracks of the recording. This is actually what those two Pauls recorded as Lilliburlero Jig. It seems they don't have the correct name for it. Sean Moloney has it through Galway piper Emmet Gill.

Sorry for too much pedagogic comments above. If this were a jig version of Colliers Reel, my information would be very useful. But actually it was a mistake.
