'''LEITRIM FANCY [1], THE.''' AKA and see "[[Gallagher's Fancy]]," "[[Michael Gallagher's Reel]]," "[[Moran's Hornpipe]]." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Mitchell): AABB' (Allan, Tubridy). See note for "[[Annotation:Michael Gallagher's Reel]]." Uilleann piper Michael Gallagher recorded the hornpipe in 1924, and the record label lists a medley containing three titles: "[[Moran's Hornpipe]],"  "[[Plains of Boyle (The)]]," and "The Leitrim Fancy." However, there are only two tunes played, "[[Plains of Boyle (The)]]," followed by "The Leitrim Fancy." The alternate title "[[Moran's Hornpipe]]" for "Leitrim Fancy" stems from this miss-labeling on the recording. Gallagher was originally a flute player from County Leitrim who learned to play the pipes in America [http://archive.org/details/MichaelGallagherThePlainsofBoyleTheLeitrimFancy].

LEITRIM FANCY [1], THE. AKA and see "Gallagher's Fancy," "Michael Gallagher's Reel," "Moran's Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Mitchell): AABB' (Allan, Tubridy). See note for "Annotation:Michael Gallagher's Reel." Uilleann piper Michael Gallagher recorded the hornpipe in 1924, and the record label lists a medley containing three titles: "Moran's Hornpipe," "Plains of Boyle (The)," and "The Leitrim Fancy." However, there are only two tunes played, "Plains of Boyle (The)," followed by "The Leitrim Fancy." The alternate title "Moran's Hornpipe" for "Leitrim Fancy" stems from this miss-labeling on the recording. Gallagher was originally a flute player from County Leitrim who learned to play the pipes in America [1].
