HUMOURS OF SCARRIFF, THE (Sugra Scairb). AKA - "Humours of Scariff." Irish, Reel (cut time). D Dorian (most versions): E Dorian (Miller & Perron/McGuire setting). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranitch, Miller & Perron): AAB (Vallely): AABB (McGuire & Keegan, Sullivan). Scarriff is located in east County Clare, between Killaloe and Mountshannon, on the banks of the river Scarriff, near the shore of Scarriff Bay on Lough Derg. It can therefore be considered a Clare tune. Francis O'Neill, writing in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910, p. 122), states he collected the tune on a trip to East Clare in 1906, where, in the Sliabh Aughty area, he had several tunes from fiddlers Johnny Allen, a dance musician and contemporary of Pat Canny, and Michael Touhey, both pupils of a blind fiddler named Paddy MacNamara ("Paddy Mack"). The latter taught music in the region in the early part of the 20th century. A transcription of the tune was supplied to O'Neill by a Mr. Tubridy, who was a schoolteacher from Tulla in attendance the day of O'Neill's small session, and as it had no title the piece was called "Humors of Scarriff" in honor of the visit.
Henrik Norbeck points out that Clare fiddler Paddy Canny slides into the 'f' notes in the 'A' part.
