Last year, in a whistle class at the Willie Clancy Week, the teacher, Peter Phelan, asked if anyone knew this tune. He went on to say that some years ago he played with a band in Dublin (Ceoltoiri .... [?something beginning with L]), who sang a traditional Gaelic song, hailing from the village of Coolea (Cuil Aodha), whose title translated as 'The Mother-In-Law'. The air of the song was the A-part of this jig. When arranging the song for a recording, the band decided to include an instrumental break, and what they came up with was the B-part. Session players, on hearing the recording, put the two bits together and called them the Cuil Aodha JIg. Thus, a trad tune was born. Needless to say, Peter was immensely chuffed at having, albeit unwittlingly, part-composed a tune which is now just as much at home in a session as The Kesh or The Maid Behind the Bar.
String and box players like playing it A, just to annoy the pipers and fluters - and because it sounds good.

Amhran na Tae?
On the Andy Stewart album "Dublin Lady," Sean Og Potts plays this jig after Andy sings the song "Dinny the Piper." The liner notes refer to it as "Amhran na Tae" (I think) from Cuil Aodha. Is this the name of the original air?

Song of the Tea
The tune started as a single-strain song air. The song was Amhran an Tae or The Song of the Tea. The arrangement by Ceoltoiri Laigheann is the source of the turn now played.
