INISHMURRY, THE. AKA and see "Star Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Inishmurray is an island of the coast of County Sligo, once the site of a monastery founded by Saint Molaise, inhabited from the sixth to the twelfth century, after which the monks removed to the mainland (probably due to Viking raids). "The Inishmurry" hornpipe is sourced to the playing of fiddler Jimmy Lyons (Teelin, Co. Donegal), who worked as a fisherman in southwest Donegal in the first half of the 20th century. Lyons and Connie Haughey (Connie Chon Beag) played as a duo regularly for the house dances in Teelin.
Researcher Conor Ward finds a cognate tune in "Star Hornpipe," contained in the music manuscript collection of fiddler Alex Sutherland (1873-1967), of Toome, Drumreilly, Co. Leitrim, which shares a second strain with "Galway Hornpipe (The)."
