Heya, I've now been going to uilleann pipes lessons for a few months, and of course the first tune I learned was the Kerry polka (or FABA, Egan's, etc). Now my teacher has given me the sheet for another tune (after a bunch of others in these past months), according to it it's the "Kerry Polka No. 2", alas when searching for it I'm only finding tunes that aren't this. I'd like to hear how other pipers play this tune as hearing the variations helps me a lot in learning, so I wanted to ask you fine people if anyone knows it by another name so I can search for it :) .

It's Downey's Polka - it goes by many other names as well, as is quite usual for Kerry Tunes.

Thank you very much, sorry for the delay.

Haven't had much luck in finding it on pipes, but this guy here plays it very similar to my teacher
