PIGEON ON THE GALE. AKA and see "Peter Kennedy's Fancy." Scottish (?), Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB’. David Taylor (1992) suggests this as the root tune for a family of tunes which includes "Boys of Portaferry (The)," "Sporting Boys (1) (The)," "Pullet (1) (The)," "Shearing the Sheep (1)," and "Red-Haired Lass (The)." The title is not to be confused with "Pigeon on the Gate." The word 'gale' can mean either a strong wind or may refer to 'sweet-gale', a type of bog-plant. Francis O'Neill printed the reel as "Peter Kennedy's Fancy."
