Well not to get into international hostilities......there is definitely a very well known version of this played by French musette accordion players called " Le Retour des Hirondelles" or "Return of the Swallows" . I have only ever heard it called that - Sharon plays it about 300% less cheesily than most accordion players but it is a show-stopper tune for accordionists and can be pretty impressive if played well. I say back to the Irish stuff ....
This song - too bad it is incomplete and not the best quality - is a wonderful tune of hers, with fascinating alternating variations on the main theme. Nice to find it here!

Irish trad accordion/melodeon players rarely use the basses. The English players do it more.
