We have a set in our ceilidh band repertoire for it; all 2/4 polkas. Rattlin' Bog/ Spanish Ladies/ Kerry Polka /Dennis Murphy's Polka/ Bill Sullivan's Polka/ Egan's Polka then back to Rattlin' Bog. Can't remember if we've ever been asked to play it, but it doubles up nicely as a "Irish Gay Gordons" set (our band being a Scottish ceilidh band!) But happy to go with what Jerry O'Reilly says, knowing him to be a great dancer and dance tutor: if he is still looking in 13 years on, it would be nice to know what other jigs they dance it to? Oh, and there's that 7-step thing in "The Walls of Limerick" - 1-and 2-and 1-2-3.....
