Wow, she's an excellent Violinist. I play classical violin myself, but nothing Irish- sounding like this. This is a pleasure to listen to!

It's not Irish. It's a jazz standard recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass [sic] Band in 1917.

Reminds me of the song 'Little Girl' from 'The Sting' soundtrack.
