Back to Wallop the Spot
WALLOP THE SPOT (“Buail an Bal{l} Sin” or “Tabhair leadradh don spota”). AKA – “Jackson’s Wallop the Spot,” “Spot the Wallop.” Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC (Breathnach): AABBCCDD (O’Neill). Bernard Flaherty (1990) sees some resemblance between this tune and his "Larry the Beer Drinker.” Jackie Small, editor of Breathnach’s CRÉ V, remarks that the setting in that volume is closer to the one generally played today than is O’Neill’s version.
Source for notated version: a recording of Paddy Mullin (Longford town) [Breathnach/CRÉ V]; whistler Joe Kilmurry [Breathnach/CICD]; "McFadden" [O'Neill] -- fiddle player biography:John McFadden was originally from near Westport, County Mayo, emigrated to the United States where he settled in Chicago. He was a musician whose skills at playing and improvisation O'Neill admired.
