Darn! I keep forgetting the name of this reel. It’s the second one in the first set of reels off that 1982 Planxty concert (clip 1 of 11) on YT.

It’s called “Once in a Lifetime.”
Ladies Pantalettes aka Duke of Leinster’s Wife is my best guess. I could be wrong again, though.
Thanks, Bill. A real “duh” moment for me.
Kevin, sorry, but I think that would be:

Okay it seems that there are more tunes called the Pullet.
It is the version also called The Boys Of Portaferry .
Nope. Bill was correct (above) - The Lady’s Pantalettes.
But now you can answer an easier one: Here is the name of a Danish tune:
Mestertyven Arve Brakars halling
What does this mean in English, please?
Thx,
djm
Okay: But look at this :
Copi the abc and set it into http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html and listen to the midifile.

Mestertyven Arve Brakars halling is from Norway the beautyfull country North of Denmark.
Arve Brakar is a name. Halling is the name of a dance.
The translation in english must be : The masterthief Arve Brakars hallig ( kind of dance).
I think there are som people from Norway on this list ,who could tell more about this.

Yes, Boys of Portaferry is similar to, but not the same as, Lady’s Pantalettes. The similarity in phrasing, and the fact that they are in different keys makes them a nice match for a reel set, but they are not the same tune.
Thanks for the info on Mestertyven Arve Brakars halling. The question comes from a thread in the Pub where someone says they found it in Willowflute Tutor book, Spela sälgflöjt by Jean-Pierre Yvert.
