That actually IS the name of the tune, written by the great Leitrim fiddler, Brian Rooney. It appears on his 1st CD, “The Godfather”. Unfortunately, no information appears in the liner notes about how the title came about; but if I had to guess, it might refer to Brendan Mulkere & Tommy Maree, both fellow Londoners as well as being musicians Brian would play with. And their names end in “M”!
