Kerryman’s Fling

More usually played as a reel. Also called ‘The Fisherman’s Lilt’
Recorded by Michael Coleman as ‘The Kerryman’s Daughter’

I’ve just noticed this tune is on Enda Scahill’s solo banjo album. The second last one on the last track, followed by Kerry Fling (aka, The Road to Glauntane): https://thesession.org/tunes/1615 Well, the two tunes are recorded as reels though.
