BANKS OF (THE) CLAUDY, THE (Bruach an Chladaigh). AKA and see "[[Cailín Donn (An)]]," "[[Plain of Boccarough]]," "[[Portaferry Boys (The)]]," "[[Roving Galway Boy]]." Irish, Air (2/4 or 4/4 time). F Major (O'Sullivan/Bunting): D Dorian (O'Neill, Stanford/Petrie): D Major (Stanford/Petrie). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (O'Neill, Stanford/Petrie): AABBC (O'Sullivan/Bunting). Claudy is a village on the right bank of a small stream called the Faughan, which rises in the Sperrin mountains and flows into the River Foyle just before it enters Lough Foyle in County Londonderry. O'Sullivan (1983) notes that old collections record tune was a once popular Irish ballad, known throughout the island and beyond, for, according to A.L. Lloyd, the song has turned up "in Sussex and Scotland, Virginia, USA, and Victoria, Australia, practically word-for-word the same and we have to presume that these versions have probably come from, and been more or less fixed by, some printed original on a broadside or in a popular songster." O'Neill (1913) classifies the melody in a group with "Willy Reilly" et al (see note for "[[Annotation:Willy Reilly (2)]]"). O'Neill relates hearing a memorable rendition by a Chicago piper named John K. Beatty, a native of County Meath who was a genial man and a good musician, though with an inflated opinion of his own abilities ("execution he had-too much of it-but neither time nor rhythm"):

''white hair, would naturally appeal to an Irish audience, so his name was''
''placed on the programme, well towards the end, to minimize the effect''
''of his possible disregard of instructions.]''
''When his time came to execute The Banks of Claudy he met all expectations--and''
''much more. Intoxicated by the applause, all was forgotten''
''but the mad desire to get more of it, so he broke loose with ''
''rhapsodical jigs and reels, his head on high, nostrils distended like a''
''race-horse on the home stretch, while both feet pounded the platform''
''in unison. He evidently 'had it in' for the regulators, for he clouted the''
''keys unmercifully, regardless of concord or effect, and when he quit,''
''from sheer exhaustion, it is safe to say that no such deafening laughter''
''and handclapping ever greeted an Irish piper before or since.'' ...  ['''Irish Folk Music''', p. 26]

''Sources for notated versions:'' the Irish collector Edward Bunting noted the melody from the harper Charles Byrne, probably at the end of the 18th century [Bunting].
