Another C version

I have this as The Humours of Toomagh from the playing of the Lewis family (I think - though not from their "Weeds in the Garden" album). I cannot remember for the life of me which recording I learnt it from, but this is the version I got anyway. It is very, very similar to the Cloon reel given above, but definitely given by the Lewis family under this name. Cracker of a tune in either case.

Found out where it came from. A 1970’s French compilation LP called "Irlande - Vol. 1 Héritage Gaëlique Et Traditions Du Connemara"
