From O’Neill’s Dance Music of Ireland

Sergeant Early’s, X:6

is from O’Neill’s 1001 (Chicago 1907, p. 21)… for the sake of completeness.

Re: Sergeant Early’s

Paul McGrattan at 10:32 in the video of "Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy online highlights from the Irish Traditional Music Archive", flute and whistle (the tune, first in Paul’s set of three jigs, was introduced as "no name for", as noted by ITMA).
