Joe Burke and Mike Rafferty recorded this reel as a straight G major tune with all the F notes sharp, informing that's how the Old Ballinakill Ceili Band did it in 30's. It seems Paddy Carty was from the next parish of East Galway.

Beauty of East Clare music

Joan Hanrahan and Dymphna O'Sullivan's duet playing reminds me of that of Mary MacNamara and Martin Hayes still in their teens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TABSf0AcdVQ
