anyone of you have some references about the polka set played by Jerry O’Sullivan at Trinity Church some years ago? I found 2 of 3 polkas: the first one is sweeneys and the last one is john ryan’s. The second one should be the pipe in the valley but I can’t find any reference of it.
Can you help me, please?
I found the tune in my files as Galway Belle. It was the same tune, only with a different 2nd ending. In the recording, I had the title as “Piper In the Valley”; I could have mis-heard that, however.
Here’s my take on the tune:

T:Piper In The Valley
R:polka
