The tune appears in Petrie's collection under the titles "Banish Misfortune or Mary of Inistuirk" ("[[Banish Misfortune (2)]]"), an air collected from a fiddler in London, and as the jig "[[Bacagh of the Wattle (The)]]" from Galway piper Paddy Connely, collected in 1840.
<br>
<br>
The tune was recorded by flute player John McKenna (1880-1947) and banjo player Michael Gaffney (d. 1972), both originally from County Leitrim, for Decca in 1934, following the slip jig "[[Dever the Dancer]]." McKenna and Gaffney were fast friends, remembers McKenna's daughter Catherine, who told Harry Bradshaw and Jackie Small that she could not remember a week that Gaffney was not in her father's house playing his banjo or rehearsing new numbers with the flutist for recordings, dances, weddings and other events they had booked.
