According to the liner notes from Kevin and Sean Moloney’s album ‘Briging the Gap,’ Sean heard this tune being lilted by a Miss Halpin of Kilmihil, County Clare on an episode of Ciaran Mc Mathuna’s radio programmes.
This particular setting was learned from Patrick Ourceau a few years back.

This is on Musical Memories…
Tom Dunne is joined by Joanie Madden and others on this set…Banks of the Ilen, Tailor’s Thimble, and then this tune…but it is not cross-referenced.
Who was mr. o’dea anyway?
