This folder consists of tune that were published in MVBT 1 (1995) and
tunes collected subsequently for online publication.

A list of the sources contained in the D: fields is at the bottom
of the page.

The "notes & comments" that follow some of the tunes are "free text" and
will not be printed.

Before printing out a tune using EasyABC, I recommend that you place
a % immediately before the Q: field (thus %Q), since in my experience
EasyABC does not always print a correct version of the Q field's contents.

I transcribed this from the playing of Mike and Mary Rafferty
(didn't note which recording - sorry). I'm not sure of its ultimate 
source but it might be a composition of Galway fiddler Paddy Kelly. 
Aggie Whyte - also a Galway fiddler  - spent many years in New York. 
She passed away in the 1960's.

This is Andy's version of a Lad O'Beirne tune (which Lad as usual 
didn't name). Andy told me that this tune and "Humors of Scarriff" 
were on a tape he sent to some musicians in the UK sometime in the 
1960's. They christened the two unfamiliar tunes "Andy McGann's #1 
and #2". ("Humors of Scarriff" is actually in O'Neill's 1001 but 
evidently the UK lads weren't familiar with it.) I added the 2nd
ending to part 2 in case the tune is played as a "stand-alone"
(i.e. not going directly into "Scarriff").

This tune and "Dave's Donegal Rambles" come courtesy of Dave Abe, a 
fiddler who lives in the Baltimore-Washington area. I first met Dave 
early in the 1980's when he was taking advantage of a fellowship that 
involved collecting traditional fiddle tunes in Ireland. Being a serious 
young scholar, he actually did what he was supposed to do, i.e. collect 
tunes. This one was included on one of the dozens of tapes he recorded. 
I provided the clever names to both (he said proudly).

Composed by Joe Derrane (in the key of A) and dedicated to his 
banjo-playing brother George. The A-minor second part seems to
require a return to part 1 (I don't recall if that's how Joe 
plays it on the CD). Also note that Joe [lays a tag at the end 
of the cut that goes WAY out of the range of 99.8 of instruments,

This is one of the "classic" hornpipes that have entered the Irish 
repertoire (via Coleman and Seán Maguire) from the Scots fiddling 
tradition exemplified by Scott Skinner. According to some sources, 
the actual composer of this tune was a Mr. (or Signore) Parazzotti, 
but a search turns up no additional information on him. The original 
Eb setting is consistent with Scots fiddling but since it makes a 
really neat tune inaccessible to roughly 98.7 of Irish musicians, I 
have transposed it - with apologies to the good Signore - to the more 
civilized key of G. (The Eb version is from Andy McGann via Brian Conway -
email me if you want a PDF.)

I first heard this tune on the "Live in Palma" CD (Dervish 1997, 
tune 3 in Killavil Set). Following in the honored tradition of folks 
like Francis O'Neill and Breandan Breathnach, I christened this otherwise 
nameless jig after a pub in the James' Gate area of Dublin where I played 
some tunes many years ago. I understand the poor old Barn Owl has 
since disappeared, a victim of "urban renewal". Other folks have put 
names to this tune but I still like mine the best!

When MVBT-1 was published in 1995, this was a relatively unknown 
tune, at least as far as printed collections were concerned. I haven't 
found it anywhere else in the meantime. This is the New York Sligo version 
from Andy McGann and Brian Conway. (It also goes by the name of "The New

The first person I ever heard play this tune - in the Eagle Tavern, 
I believe - was New York fiddler Dan Collins. De Danann got the tune 
from Dan. I have seen it in other collections since MVBT-1 was published 
in 1995, occasionally with different names. Dan himself was the one who 
called it "Dan Collins' Father's Jig", which is the name I used in MVBT-1, 
but "Bill Collins'" is a lot easier. Regardless of the name, it remains 
one of my favorite jigs.

Billy Caples was a Boston box player who, like Joe Derrane, was a 
graduate of the prestigious Berklee School of Music. Billy had a great 
influence on the next generation of players including Mike Reynolds 
and his brother Larry Jr., two of Boston's finest musicians. Billy's 
parents were from Fermoy (Co. Cork). He was an active performer and 
teacher till the time of his death in 1986 and was a founding member 
of the Boston branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann. This tune is from 
the aforementioned Mike Reynolds; I'm not sure if Billy actually composed 
it.

According to Andrew Kuntz' tunesearch site, this is a version of a 
Scots tune called "Captain Francis Wemyss" to which Jackie Daly added 
a third part (not included in this setting) before renaming it "The 
Bog Carrot". There's a slide version of this tune called "The Game Cock" 
in CRE4 (tunefolder 184).

New York box player John Nolan composed this great tune a number of 
years ago. I first heard it played by Billy McComiskey as a double with 
his own reel "The Controversial", which appears elsewhere in this collection. 
They're a pair of mighty tunes that go very well together.

Boston banjo player Jimmy Kelly (RIP) got this tune from Cape Breton 
fiddler Bill Lamey. Jimmy plays it in C on the  recording, which is 
great for a CGDA-tuned banjo but not so great for anything else. For 
that reason I've transposed it to D.

Box virtuoso John Whelan's tune is named for a pub - probably long 
gone - on 205th Street in Upper Manhattan. (I did a few totally 
unmemorable gigs there myself.) John said that Dublin banjo player 
Mick Kenny helped with the composing of this tune. It's played in 
G minor on the CD but I've transposed it to what I hope is a more 
useful key.

This tune - not for the faint of heart - is intended, according to 
the composer, to imitate the happy chirpings of the eponymous insect!
(Not sure how a whistle player gets those accidentals into a tune -
must take a lot of "half-holeing".)

she forgets to name them (or she changes names and forgets to tell 
everybody). Not this one! (In case you're interested - and who wouldn't be? 
- the Croton Dam is part of New York City's water supply system. It's

This tune is from New York fiddler Tony de Marco. It resembles a number 
of other tunes in its B minor/D major shape, but it has enough good 
qualities of its own to keep it interesting. Dan Collins says this tune 
was composed by New York fiddler/teacher John McGrath (d. 1955). A 
"duidin" (doo-JEEN) is a small pipe (tobacco type).

I got this tune and a few others in this collection directly from

to my suggestion to name it after his mother. Despite the composer's 
approval, however, no one else seems to have picked up on this idea. 
Oh well... (Note: Because the low texture of the original makes it 
unplayable for many trad instruments, I've added a version in D below.)

Another tune courtesy of Willie Kelly. Finbar is one of the musical 
Dwyer brothers from West Cork, and a fine performer on a number of 
instruments. According to Dan Collins, Finbar plays left-handed on 
a right-handed fiddle. I'm still trying to figure out how he does it, 
but it doesn't sound easy! (Note: the Dm setting is for instruments 
- right- or left-handed one - that can't reach the lower notes in the 
original.) The MP3 is for the Dm version.

I included this in MVBT-1 because I wasn't aware at that time that 
it was in O'Neill's 1001 as "The Four Hand Reel". I never had the 
turn of this correct until Michael Tubridy wrote it out on a napkin 
for me at a ceili in Dublin many years ago!

O'Sullivan says that's not possible because the pipes can't play that

Brothers recording (complete with spooky sound effects.) On the 
recording this is titled simply "Banshee". I added "Flanagans'" 
to distinguish it from the better-known "Banshee" (aka "McMahon's"). 
I think it's also known as "The Howling Banshee". Great tune in any

Like "The Banks" (#41018) this is one of the "classic" Scots hornpipes. 
There are two unrelated tunes with the same name (I have the other version

From Matt Molloy's "Stoney Steps" (1987). This tune is in the Roche 
Collection volume 2 (ITTL tunefolder 54/542) as "John Roche's 
Favorite". Matt plays this at a set-dance speed with heavy strathspey 
accents. Below I have provided a "florid" version for those players 
who would like to try their hands at duplicating Matt's version. 
(I have however omitted the "cut time" (e.g. A>B, C>D)] in the
transcription.)

After laboriously transcribing this from "Molly" - where it appears

that I had re-invented the wheel: "Conlon's" was a version of "Happy 
to Meet, Sorry to Part", a tune included in both CRE-2 and O'Neill's 
1850. The "Conlon" of De Danann's title is presumably 1920's melodeon 
player Peter Conlon. Since it's a neat tune that you don't hear much 
these days, I've decided to keep it under both titles!

De Danann - a great group but never the best at tune names - recorded

the correct name. I was sure the tune was in one of the O'Neill's volumes 
since Hardiman was one of the Chief's Chicago acquaintances (and evidently 
the fiddling source of the slip jig that has his name on it), but I was 
surprised not to find it, at least not under his name.

This was transcribed from the playing of box player Johnny Cunningham 
(RIP). The tune is so cheerful and happy that the name doesn't really 
seem to suit it. I don't know if this is an original composition of 
Johnny's or not. (Thanks to Boston's Tommy Kierce for first bringing 
this tune to my attention).

This is a composition of Scots fiddler J. Scott Skinner as performed 
by Joe Derrane on his 1995 "Irish Accordion" CD. Note that Joe's 
version is played as A (repeated) - B - A (no repeat). I have structured 
the audio file for this tune accordingly. (Note that ABC, for all its
virtues, doesn't "read" directions like "DS", "segno", "fine", etc.)

The late Joe Derrane composed this tune as a "tip of the hat" to 
columnist Earle Hitchner, who did Irish music fans a huge favor by 
persuading Joe - who most people thought had passed away - to return 
to the trad scene in the early 1990's. This tune bears all the hallmarks 
of Joe's distinctive style, and for that reason will probably never 
become a "session favorite", but I included it in MVBT-1 out of respect 
for Joe and Earle.

The late Boston fiddler Larry Reynolds played this catchy "gan

Later he was telling us about an East Galway IRA man named Malachy 
Brennan, who when ambushed by the Black and Tans miraculously escaped 
injury to himself but took a number of shots to his good overcoat. 
Suddenly the jig "gan ainm" had a name!

I first heard this tune at Mike Rafferty's New Jersey retirement 
party in May 1989. It's a great flute tune (naturally) and sits nicely 
on the banjo as well. Mr. Coughlan was a musician of a bygone day from 
Mike's part of Galway.

and guitar backup, if that helps. I thought it might have been Jim 
and Mary Coogan, especially since 'Jack's 32' was Jim's session pub 
in Suffern NY. I emailed Mary to inquire but she doesn't recognize the

I took this from the Kathleen Collins 1976 LP (where Jackie's 
last name is misspelled "Roach", an error I repeated in MVBT-1). 
Dan Collins says this was composed not by Roche but by James Morrison, 
who called it "The Pilgrim". Jackie Roche was a fiddler, a student of 
John McGrath's, who went on to lead a dance band. (A sample of their 
music is on YouTube.) He lived on Staten Island and died sometime in 
the 1980s.

This tune's name is the acronym of Johnny's four kids (who twenty-two

B minor, but since that was pitched a little high for most instruments

tune and it would be a shame to drop them - but if you can't manage

This is a tune that exists somewhere (1) with a different name 
(2) with only two parts, not three. I knew the original name but 
can't for the life of me recall it. In any event, Msgr. Cronin 
didn't compose it (although he might have had something to do with 
the third part.)

This tune and "The Woodcock" (#41355) are compositions of Belfast 
flute player and builder Hammy Hamilton, now residing near 
Ballyvourney in West Cork. I first heard them played by a band 
from Northern Ireland named "Déanta", whose flute player Deirdre 
Havlin got them "gan ainm" from Hammy. I eventually got the actual 
names from him via the IRTRAD mailing list of happy memory. 
(Kerfunten is a town in Brittany that hosted a music festival in 
years past.)

had found another tune with that name somewhere!)

A tune by Scots fiddler Dave Richardson and listed on the "Barking

Collie" around here until we found out the real name. I don't recall 
if D or A is the original key so I've included both versions. A fine
tune either way! (Update: in a recent email exchange with the composer,'
he told me he doesn't remember what the original key was!) The MP3 for
this tune is the D version.

neat and indicates that this tune might have been part of a quadrille 
at one time (check out the Roche folder for examples). "Ardath" is an 
alternate spelling of the name.

This tune and "The Maple Leaf" which follows were composed by Darach 
de Brun (RIP). I transcribed both from the 1976 recording of Darach's 
group 'Oisín'. ("Aran" is spelled "Arran" in the liner notes to this LP.)

I first heard this tune played by Seamus Connolly, who had gotten it 
from Brian Conway, who in turn had it directly from the composer. 
Martin told me that this tune was in Ceol Rince na hEireann somewhere 
as a "gan ainm". Sure enough it's in CRE2 (182143) - originally as "gan ainm"!

I got this tune (and several others) via phone from Martin Wynne one

Boston box player Mike Reynolds is the first person I ever heard play

a traditional Scots tune. Either way it's become a favorite session tune 
over the years.

This tune is a familiar one that I thought had something to do with 
Paddy O'Brien (Tipp) but maybe not. In any case I don't think Martin 
is the Mulhaire that composed it. The research continues!

I'm not sure if this tune is played much today but as far as I'm 
concerned it's definitely worth reviving. The liner notes to the 
recording were unhelpful as to identifying which particular Mulvihill 
was the source of this tune (but at least there were liner notes!)

Another one from Boston's Mike Reynolds that had no name to it. 
Since Mike got it from Joe Burke, I cleverly christened it "Joe Burke's

is any such thing) was eventually supplied by DC musician and tune 
detective Philippe Varlet. I believe Pat was Joe's dad.

This is a version of a tune better known as "Rathcroghan" or "Floating 
Crowbar". It seems to be a matter of player preference as to whether the 
C's in mm 7, 8, and 16 are played sharp or natural. Since Mike Rafferty 
and Willie Kelly recorded it with C naturals on "New Broom" (2009), I 
figured I'd keep them in this version.

The first of two settings of this tune from De Danann's
"Traditional Music of Ireland" LP (1977). There are no
liner notes to that recording so I'm not sure where
the band got either version. Some of the older collections
have a tune called "The Peacock" but it's basically "The 
Parting Glass" and isn't related to "PF1" or "PF2".

Phil (box) and his fiddling brother Johnny (RIP 2003) were with the Scots 
group Silly Wizard during its heyday in the late 70's - early 80's.

This was contributed to MVBT-1 by DC-area fiddler and composer Philippe 
Varlet. In the original, the F's at the beginning of mm 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 
and 13 are rolled. Unfortunately this ornamenation doesn't translate well 
into MIDI, so I have left the F's as quarter notes for the player to

After transcribing this tune I discovered that it's actually called 
"Garrett Barry's" and is found in the "Dance Music of Willie Clancy" 
volume (ITTL tunefolder 22). Mike Rafferty and Willie Kelly call it 
"Mr. McLeod's" on their "New Broom" CD.

This is a version of 'Monk's Jig' / 'Port an Bhrathair' transcribed 
in the mid-90's from a tape of a UK group called "Floating Crowbar",
about whom I know nothing. Patrick "Sonny" Brogan, from Dublin, was 
a well-respected 1960's box player whose name appears on several tunes. 
He died in 1965.

One of the best-liked "newly-composed tunes" (well, relatively) in 
the repertoire. Composed by Davey Arthur (best known for his banjo 
work with the Furey Brothers), this tune is played in either A minor 
or D minor, whichever key suits the instrument. This setting is from 
Brian Conway. (Note: you can substitute /a/ for the /c'/ in measure 10.)
MP3 for this tune will be the Am setting.

Composed by Chicago's Liz Carroll and named for a street in Philadelphia 
that later became something else. I actually saw the original street sign 
in a trailer for a movie whose name, plot, and stars I can't be expected to 
remember at my age!

This tune represents Joe Derrane's promise to Earle Hitchner and to 
Irish music lovers in general never to give up his box playing again. 
DC's "Wolftrap" was Joe's first festival after his long absence from 
trad music. (NB This isn't the original key but I had Joe's permission 
to transpose it for accessibility purposes.)
