As played by Tim Collins and Brian MacNamara. This is from the Tunes of the Munster Pipers (Goodman).

This reminds me of the Sporting Days of Easter: https://thesession.org/tunes/1440

Heard a lovely version of this tune played by Mikey Smith a few months ago. Sounds great on a DADGAD guitar.

I find this setting a bit cooler, though I also play the endings like EDD2.
