BRIDGE OF ATHLONE [2], THE. Irish, Hornpipe. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Settings also in G major. The hornpipe was famously recorded on 78 RPM by Sligo fiddle great Michael Coleman in New York [S. Connolly]. Peter Kennedy incorporated the tune into a quadrille piece called "Princess Margaret's Fancy." The hornpipe appears in the c. 1837 music manuscript collection of Shropshire musician John Moore, who called the tune "Ironbridge Hornpipe (The)."
