AKA and see "Carthy's," "Crossing the Shannon (2)," "Day I Met Tom Moylan (The)," "Ginley's Fancy," "Handsome Sally (1)," "McGinley's," "Merry Thatcher (The)," "Miss Kelly's Favourite," "Old Tom," "Paddy Carthy's Reel (2)," "Sally Grant," "Through the Heather," "Tom Ginley's." Irish, Reel. E Minor/E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranitch, Mulvihill): AAB (O'Neill/1850 & 1001): AA'B (Armagh Piper's Club, O'Neill/Krassen). A popular session reel, popularized by the 1978 recording by Noel Hill and Tony Linnane. The alternate title "Ginley's Fancy" comes from Galway accordion player Joe Burke, who has helped popularize the tune in modern times.
