This is a tune title listed among the tunes named in the writings of the County Wexford folklorist Patrick Kennedy, who names many tunes played by fiddlers and pipers in North West County Wexford in the early 1800’s. The tune is not commonly played in the Wexford repertoire today however. Some of the tunes mentioned in his writings seem to remain popular in the Morris tradition.
