An old favorite here, The Kesh (or Kincora) Jig, key of G. Greatly popularized in the US by the immortal Boys of the Lough.
And, for the first time on video - surveillance tapes possibly excepted - The Old Grey Cats: me, Alan Davis, fiddle/mandolin, and Roy Durnal, bass/bodhran (drum). Video kindly made by Gregg Schneeman, of bowed psaltery fame.
Dulcimer is tuned, from treble to bass: usual D - G - D + an added, lower G. It's a hybrid tuning between standard and baritone dulcimers and has great bass sound. (Strings, same order: 0.011, 0.017, 0.028, 0.036)
We were in Claremont's Memorial Park, Friday 10/9/20. Claremont has a mask wearing ordinance, so the other Cats are being more law abiding than me. I wore mine the rest of the time, honest. Yes, my hair is 'Covid Style.'

Thank you for sharing your videos.
I love this tune - we used to play it in our hobby band. Great playing!
Another favorite of mine. I also play this on mandolin. May give it a go on the mountain dulcimer.
Complete with a Bodhrán! very cool!
Thanks for posting this, Leo. I've been meaning to work on it but it's so much easier knowing what it's supposed to sound like.
