Back to McDermott's Hornpipe (1)

McDERMOTT'S HORNPIPE [1] (Cornphíopa Mhic Dhiarmada). The AKA and see "Baldheaded Bachelor (The)," "Dan Lowry's," "Dunn's Hornpipe," "Flowers of Antrim (1) (The)," "Galway Hornpipe (1) (The)," "Marquis of Lorne (1)," "McDanaugh's Clog," "McDonaugh's Clog," "Newry Hornpipe (The)." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Phillips): AA'BB'CC'D.

This amalgamated tune (a pairing of "Galway Hornpipe (1) (The)" and "Sligo Fancy (The)") was recorded by renowned County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman [1] (1891-1945) on a 78 RPM recording in New York in 1922. The set was named by Coleman, credited to Bunnanadden, County Sligo, fiddler and publican Peter James (P.J.) McDermott (b. 1874), who had a strong influence on Coleman when he was learning to play. The first strain is cognate with the Scottish "Marquis of Lorne (1)" printed by James S. Kerr in the 1880's.
