Lovely Tune!
Is it composed by Mick O‘Brien or Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh?
“Is it composed by Mick O’Brien or Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh?”
Neither. It appears in the “James Goodman (1828-1896) manuscripts” from the 1860s.
It was published in Volume 1 of “Tunes of the Munster Pipers ”.

This is a setting taken from the album Deadly Buzz - it is almost identical to the above version, but with the bar lines in right places. I believe the leading note was mistakenly incorporated as the note on the beat, in the other version for part B.
