'''BASKET OF TURF''' (An Cliaban/Cliabh Móna).  "Bundle and Go [1]," "The Creel of Turf," "The Disconsolate Buck," "The Lass from Collegeland," "The Unfortunate Rake [1]," "The Wandering Harper," "The Wee, Wee Man," "Winter Garden Quadrille." Irish, Double Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (most versions): AABB'CC'DD'EE' (Breathnach/CRÉ V). A turf basket was used to haul home peat for fuel. Some versions are set in the dorian mode, and it is sometimes played with the parts reversed from the order given in Breathnach's CRÉ II (1976). In '''CRÉ V''', Breathnach prints a five-part version, while fiddlers P.J. and Martin Hayes have a three part version they have recorded as "The Castle [2]" (corresponding roughly to Breathnach's parts 1, 2 & 5). The song "The Wandering Harper" is set to this air. Holden ('''Collection of the most esteemed old Irish Melodies''', Dublin, 1807) gives it as "The Unfortunate Rake." The melody compares with "Winter Garden Quadrille" in O'Neill's '''Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody''' (No. 97). "The Basket of Turf" was recorded in New York in the late 1920's by accordion player Frank Quinn, from North Longford, and fiddler player Joe Maguire, from County Fermanagh. It was famously recorded by Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman in New York in 1924, the first of a pair of jigs under the title "Up Sligo."
