BANKS OF THE ILEN, THE. Irish, Reel or Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. O'Neill prints the tune as a hornpipe, though it is most often heard now-a-days as a reel. It is known in the Sliabh Luachra region of the Cork/Kerry border as "Seanbhean na gCartaí" or "Tom Billy's." Rendered as a double jig, the tune appears under the title "Humours of Drinagh [1]." Peter Kennedy sees relatedness with his "Humours of Six Mile Bridge."
