TRIP TO BIRMINGHAM [2]. AKA and see “Dinny O'Brien's Reel (2),” “Josie McDermott's Reel (1),” “Peg McGrath's Reel (2),” "Pile of Bricks (The)." Irish, Reel (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Trip to Birmingham" is usually attributed to flute and whistle player Josie McDermott (d. 1992), originally from Ballyfarnon, Co. Roscommon, who was also a lilter, singer and saxophone player. One authority, however, holds it was written by County Mayo fiddle player John McGrath (for whom several tunes have been claimed with scant evidence).
The tune is similar in many respects to a family of hornpipes (and one reel) that includes "Corney Drew's Hornpipe," "Dwyer's Hornpipe (1)," "Fitzgerald's Hornpipe (2)" and "Teresa Halpin's Reel." It does not seen to have enough points of correspondence to be considered cognate, but perhaps a version of the melody 'informed' McDermott's composing. See also the related “Cornerhouse (2) (The),” and the note for “annotation:Kathleen Lawrie's Wedding.”
