JOHN BRENNAN FROM SLIGO (Seán o Braonáin as Sligeach). AKA - "Brennan's," "Brennan's Fancy," "John Brennan's Reel (3)." Irish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is named for Ballisodare, County Sligo, flute player John Brennan, a regular member of Dublin's Church Street Club, site of a famous long-lasting session that began in the late 1950's centered around County Clare fiddler John Kelly (father of fiddlers James and John Kelly, and a member of the famed Castle Ceili band).

A similar tune is printed by Breathnach (CRÉ II, No. 173, p. 90) as an untitled reel collected from the playing of Co. Galway musician Aggie White (Mrs. Sean Ryan).
