As "Real o' Bogee," it is one of the "missing tunes" from William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian dance tune manuscript. Brian Conway plays a Sligo setting of the reel. In liner notes to his album, says the tune is sometimes known as “The Tramps,” and was recorded in New York by Paddy Killoran and by Michael Coleman, both originally from County Sligo. Coleman called it “Maun's Fancy” on an unreleased side from his last recording session in 1944. “Mountain Rose,” “New Year’s Night” and “Style/Stile of Ballylanders” are related tunes.
