This appears on John Carty’s "The Cat That Ate the Candle" album also, in a set with another barndance that I can’t remember the name of. I don’t have an instrument (or the album) handy to check for sure, but this version appears to be different from the one on that album.

Setting #2

is a three-part version as played by Orlaith and Brogan McAuliffe:

I think this is their basic setting. They usually play the 2nd repeat of each part with some significant (very nice!) variations; I didn’t write these out here though. Be sure to watch the clip anyway — great lift and rhythm.
