Back to Monaghan Switch (The)
MONAGHAN SWITCH, THE. Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB'. The late John and Mickey Doherty, influential Donegal fiddlers, played the tune in the key of D. It appears in 'A' in Padraig Mac Aodh O'Neill's work Songs of Uladh, under the title "The Muineachan Switch," and was collected by him in 1903 from the playing of Fawans, Kilmacrannan, Donegal, farmer and schoolmaster Mac Suibhne, who had learned it from an old Glenswilly fiddler named Llilliam Ua Curthainn. It has become popular again with modern Donegal fiddlers [Caoimhin Mac Aoidh, 1994].
