The Southwest Wind
This is very similar to Connie the Soldier. However there are some differences. This is the tune (more or less) as played by Todd Denman & Dale Russ and by Veronica McNamara. It is more of a Sligo version, to my ears, than the simpler Connie the Soldier as played by Seamus Creagh, James Carty, and others.
This is a nice version but personally I think it’s too similar to the version posted previously to deserve a slot of its own.

"This is very similar to Connie the Soldier."
No it’s not … sorry…. yes i can see similarities but hey we’re playing folk tunes here… this tune is much more interesting in the minor key and with lots of nice turns… well worth posting …. thankyou….
I guess it’s in Dmix.
Micho Russel plays a tune under this name on a TV clip, along with a jig he calls ‘The Little Black Pig" which I haven’t found so far here.

The second one on the clip is an old version of the "Walls of Liscarrol." A similar version is here: https://thesession.org/tunes/2899 Of course, it’s not exactly the same.
