Back to Kilfenora Jig (1)
KILFENORA JIG [1]. Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'CCDDEE' (Harker/Rafferty): AABB'CCDDEE'FF'GG' (Mallinson). The tune was recorded by the renowned Kilfenora Ceili Band in the mid-1950's and played as its signature tune (followed by "Kilfenora Jig (4)"). Mike Rafferty also remembers it being played by the Laoichtín Naofa Ceili Band at Miltown Malbay with Willie Clancy (Harker, 2005). The jig "Is Fear Paidir na Port" is incorporated into the Kilfenora version of the tune, and is related to O'Neill's "Chorus Jig (5)." O'Neill also prints a tune with cognate first strains, "Friendly Jack," from his flute-playing friend Father Fielding. The melody is similar that of the reel "Glen Road to Carrick."
