SIR PHILLIP McHUGH [1] (An Saoi Pilib Mic-Aeda). AKA – “Phillip McCue,” "Sir Phillip MacQue." AKA and see “Funny Mistake (The),” "Pilib an Cheó." Irish, English; Slip Jig (9/8 time). G Major (O'Neill): D Major (Callaghan, Kennedy, Sing Out). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is not the similarly titled “Philip McCue” published by O’Farrell,” although it is the “Philip McCue” that appears in Wilson’s Companion to the Ball Room (1816). It is labelled “Irish” in the Wilson volume. The slip jig appears in the 1798 music manuscript collection of Joshua Jackson (Harrogate, North Yorkshire), as an untitled piece.

Paul de Grae notes that the tune may have been used for a song in honor of Philip McHugh O'Reilly, an Irish military commander in the rebellion of 1641^[1].
