A tale told by Joe McGowan[1] was passed from Jim Coleman to Mick Finn, fiddler Fred Finn's father, who told his son, who shared it with local historian P.J. Duffy, and finally to McGowan. According to Jim's tale, he and Michael were returning home from a night out when they went astray. They happened on an old ringfort and rested there, but suddenly found themselves in a beautiful field, 'with lovely plains, trees and flowers.' They felt a compulsion to play their instruments, and picking them up they began to play and continued all night long until they were exhausted. Mustering enough energy to continue on their journey, they arrived home and were astonished to find that in was still early in the night and they were only ten minutes late. Afterwards they playing of the brothers noticeably improved, and was remarked upon locally. Jim, however, 'was terrified to go out at night all his life after that'
