One of my favourites, of the ancient Irish tunes. My wife & I play this tune often, especially while playing in Medieval costume in Carrickfergus Castle, on Hammered Dulcimer & Harp.
I believe he would have played for the Earl in Glenarm Castle, because we know that in 1745 Glenarm Castle became the principal seat of the Earl of Antrim.
Fortunately Sabine & I have had the opportunity to play this tune & many more, in costume, in both Glenarm Castle & their former stronghold Dunluce Castle, which is sadly only a ruin now.
Fantastic....

Thanks Ptarmi. You know the area he came from I suppose. Didn't he play for the Earl of Antrim?
Cheers
