Back to Paddy Fahey's Jig (1)
PADDY FAHY'S JIG [1] (Port Phádraig Uí Fhathaigh). AKA- “Paddy Fahey’s.” Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Breathnach): AA’BB’ (Taylor). Composed by Kilconnel, County Galway, fiddler Paddy Fahey [1] (b. 1926) who is not in the habit of naming his tunes, which are thus invariably called “Paddy Fahey’s.”
Accordion player Joe Burke is said to have quipped “They’re all called ‘Paddy Fahey’s’ so you can easily tell one from the next.” It is supposedly reported by accordion player Joe Burke that Fahey said he named each of his tunes after himself so that there would be no mistaking who composed them! Fahey has composed over 70 melodies to date. See also the related “Bimid ag Ól.”
