It is somtimes played in a set with South Wind
Planxty Irwin?

No. I play that one too and it’s different.
Is it possible this was just a “bridge” that someone wrote to either link the South Wind to another tune, or as a sort of countermelody or alternate melody to the South Wind itself?
I’ve not heard this before but to me it doesn’t sound complete; I don’t think it would stand alone as its own tune.
I will agree it doesn’t sound like Planxty Irwin to me.

Not familiar with it. Sounds Scottish to me, somehow.
It sounds pretty…what I can make out of it. Why is there no time signature?
Holy Moley, there’s a tune there. When I went to this message in Netscape all I saw was the question but no tune. I tried it in IE and saw the tune. I don’t know it.

Could be that, as an air, the transcriber saw no point to it. Airs are not, in most cases, played strictly to an established meter, but expressed in elastic phrases.
That totally makes sense. I need to write some airs.
That being said (re: my previous post), you’ll find a lot of airs sheet music fitted out with time signatures. In most cases it’s safe to basically ignore them, but it’s indispensable to hear an air played to “get it”.

I don’t know the tune either. I did a quick search using the notes in J.C’s, but zippo. I agree with Mr Peepers, it’s probably a bridge that someone wrote to connect 2 tunes. But i’ve been wrong a few times before! 
The way they play it is they play South Wind, then this tune, then South Wind again.
Oh man; this is the kinda thing that drives me nuts. I play a few tunes that I dont know the name of, just junk floating around in my head, but because I am to lazy to learn to read music, in 45 years of doing some kind of music Ive been to lazy. So I dont even get to help out with this tune. Dang it I am discusted with my self. Im going to feed the horses.
Least I can understand their language.
