And for those of you on Facebook, here is Gerry O'Connor and Fergal Scahill playing it on day 318 of his fiddle tune a day.  I can't find it on Youtube.:

It sure would be great to see a few more people posting to the tune here, join in the fun!  Heck, make it your New Year's resolution!

Nice tune; an ear worm. Solid playing on a beautiful banjo too!

Such a good tune, keep playing that. (I haven't played that in donkey's (y)ears ... though I know the chords .. maybe. Really nice tune, so, what is one to play after that?

Best wishes to you and yours, always,

Tomás

I play it as follows: Killavil, Swallowtail, Hearty Boys of Ballymote, only because those were jigs I didn't already have in other sets, and since nobody really knows Killavil and Hearty Boys at my local session I mostly play it alone or with my wife.

Great job Brian!

Thanks Dan and Bribak. I enjoyed learning this tune and look forward to adding it to the local session.

Nicely done, Brian. A modest suggestion: There are places in the tune where you treble each time through. Try a variation by simply playing 3 eighth notes, or even holding the dotted quarter note. Adding a little unpredictability makes the tune more interesting to others, and it will help you stay focused on both the noting and rhythm.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion Larry. I will work on varying the ornaments more.

Inspired by Dan and Brian's versions I've had a go, with bouzouki backing
