Pretty sure it's The Strawberry Blossom, aka The Boys of Ballynahinch:

Yes, I like Tommy's playing very much indeed.

TheSession.org does seem to be down at the moment. I'm sure it will be back before too long.

If you read music, try this (from the same source Mike provided):

Yep, that's a lot closer to the setting that Tommy plays.

Yeah. There are other versions at:
http://jc.tzo.net/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind

I find that a really useful site for searching for abcs. If only there was a way to filter the results to get the version/setting I'm familiar with without looking at the scores!

Stay hoopy,
Mike
