Back to Fardown Farmer (The)
FARDOWN FARMER, THE (An Gabaltuide Tuatac/Tuaideac). Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The term 'Fardown' was used in the 19th and 20th centuries, often by Irish-Americans, to describe someone (often a Protestant) from Ulster. Faction fighting was reported on 19th century American construction sites between Fardowns and men from Munster. It is said the name was derived from fir dun or 'dark men’. See also the related "Angry Peeler (The)."
