Also known as Micho Russell’s March, Micho Russell’s Polka.
Micho's March has been added to 9 tunebooks.
"Micho Russell: Ireland’s Whistling Ambassador"
I’ve heard Mary MacNamara play a set with that feeling in them. I was sure they were marches, and am still, but on the recording and as they are here on site I believe they are listed as polkas. I can’t just remember which pair and I don’t see them listed on her two albums… It may come to me, hopefully.
Track 7: "Joe Bane’s #1" / "Joe Bane’s #2"

I’m pretty sure that Teada does this as ‘Micho Russell’s’ in a set of polkas on ‘Inne Amarach’. It’s track 9 and starts off w/Planxty Crilly and ends w/Mickey Callaghan’s. Not sure why, but the site has the recording w/that name linked to a reel of the same name?!

No, it doesn’t look like the tune list at Recordings took, but a mighty effort. Cheers!
We played this tune in a Grupa Ceoil competition a few years ago, except it was in C.
There is a tape I have, a compilation of different whistle players. Micho plays this on it and the tune is called The Lisdoonvarna Polka.
