The Setting Sun jig

Maybe someone out there knows the name of this tune?????

This is Wee Johnny, also known as the Setting Sun.

Um, Peter, you might want to edit the details for this tune and post it as either Wee Johnny or the Setting Sun, rather than Gan Ainm.

Thanks Will !!. I have changed the name to the Setting Sun.

Good on you. Nice tune, btw.

Josephine Keegan, in her 2004 tunebook "A Drop in the Ocean", calls this jig ‘The Man in the Moon’. Alan Ng, at https://www.irishtune.info/tune/4735/ , also has it as ‘The Rising Sun’. Take your pick.
