This is another reel from Co. Mayo fiddler John McFadden, whose great tune contributions were included in the Captain Francis O’Neill collection. This tune is a typical fiddler’s choice, probably because it was composed by a fiddler from the latter part of the 19th century. I first heard it played by Larry Redican on one of Ciaran Mac Mathuna’s radio programs.
