The Westering Home

I got that tune from the band “Iontach”. They played it on their album “A New Journey”.
They say that it might be evolved from the Waltz “Westering Home” which you can find here:

Re: The Westering Home

@Dargai Tune 6587 might be the origin but it is a waltz and this is a jig version of it.
