According to The Fiddler's Companion, "Banks of Lough Gowna" is known by a number of names: "The Clare Jig," "One More Bottle," and "The Rambler from Clare" to name but a few. The Irish name is "Bruaca Loca Gamna" (although I don't know if that spelling is right--looks wrong to me at least!). It's a fairly common session tune that's disappeared a bit from the Milwaukee sessions, although you'll hear it a lot in Chicago and other areas. I'm familiar with the tune from a number of sources, most recently from fluter Marcas O'Murchu's Turas Ceoil album.
