Gan Ainm (Slip Jig)

Found this online at JC’s and thought it was kinda fun…

Possibly related to Barney Bralligan?

This sounds familiar. It’s very similar to a three part slip jig called Barney Bralligan but I’d hesitate to say it’s the same tune - close cousins, perhaps.

first or second cousins…

This is a lovely little tune until you get to the second part: it doesn’t get a prize for originality!

…which sounds like

this 3/4 version of Dance Ti’ Thy Daddy

Sounds to me like it comes from the Hunting the Hare https://thesession.org/tunes/3653 and Paddy O’Snap https://thesession.org/tunes/1179 family of tunes.
