Knocknagow is a fictional village in Charles Kickham’s 19th-century novel of the same name. The village of Knocknagow was set in north Co. Tipperary. The jig itself is one I first heard played by Seamus Connolly on one of his radio broadcasts of the 1960s. It was played in Sligo among an older generation of fiddlers who preferred it with only the first two parts.
