CONNIE O'CONNELL'S (JIG) [1]. AKA and see "Jolly Beggar (1) (The)," "Michael Dwyer's Jig," "Two and Sixpenny Girl (The)." Irish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BBCC'. According to Paul de Grae Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content, the jig is attributed to Michael Dwyer [1] (1942-1977) and is contianed in his unpunlished collection of tunes called Farewell to Gort under the title "Michael Dwyer's Jig." It is a re-working of "The Two-and-Sixpenny Girl" or "The Half-Crown Girl" with the addition of another part. Jackie Daly and Seamus Creagh recorded the tune as "Connie O'Connell's" named after a fiddler player from Kilnamartyra, Múscraí (near Ballyvourney in west Cork), and the tune is now usually known by that title. County Fermanagh flute player Cathal McConnell recorded it in 1970 as "McNamara's Jig."
The jig belongs to a large and varied 6/8 tune family that includes "Aherlow Jig," "Money I Want (The)," "Quinn's Jig," "Ryan's Travels," "Spirits of Whisky (2)," and "Three Little Drummers (1) (The)." According to Breathnach (1985), "Ryan's Travels" is a County Limerick name for the jig.
