Er, I mean, how I hear it played, slightly differently than what Gian Marco heard, apparently.

Now, listen to their playing of the tune once again: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/thelatesession/rams/4july.ram (starts around 50:00) Who can convert such gorgeous playing into ABCs accurately?
It’s beautiful….
This tune can also be heard here:

Played powerfully by Conor Keane and Martin O’Malley.
Can anyone say what key it’s played in here?

You can listen to the Sruleen Ceili Band of S. Birmingham play this jig: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/ceilihouse/rams/25june.smil
From Ceili House Archive 2005: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/ceilihouse/1034199.html
The set starts around 8:30.
On "Fourmilehouse", Alan and John Kelly call this jig "The Hag’s Purse." Tsk tsk…

Aka Hag’s Purse
Hag’s Purse - has that name on Catherine McEvoy’s eponymous CD, also Custy’s Leabhar Ceoil tune book.
What a beautiful tune. It’s really got that quality of longing and emotion you hear in other jigs "Out on the Ocean".
Joe Derrane’s
It really is more in D than Bm to my ear. That opening chord is a G.
