I heard this reel for the first time years ago on Bobby Casey's "The Spirit of West Clare" (1966). Last Sunday, I played it during an online exchange of tunes for the first time since long.

The origin of the tune goes way back. It appears under the name “Eileen Curran” at the start of the 20th Century in the famous collection of Irish traditional music: O'Neill's Music of Ireland. As "Sailors Set on Shore" it appears in Elias Howe’s tune book, "School for the Fife", Boston, 1851. And in 18th Century Scotland as “Lady Hamilton Dalrymple’s Strathspey": [ Ссылка ]
