PRETTY PEGG{Y} [1] (Mairgreadin Deas). AKA – “Pretty Peg.” AKA and see “Bill Clancy's Delight,” “Ladies' Delight
.” Scottish, Irish; Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/1850 & 1001, Surenne): AAB (Athole, Gow, Hunter, Johnson, Martin & Hughes, Petrie, Skye): AA'B (O'Neill/Krassen): ABB' (Hardie): AABB’ (Skinner). The melody is identified by the band Altan as a Scottish reel that has been popular in Ireland for a number of years; indeed, J. Scott Skinner, in his Harp and Claymore collection observes it is "One of the finest of the old Reels." It is sometimes played with parts reversed (see O'Neill's "Bill Clancy's Delight"). The second strain is similar to "Perthshire Hunt (The)." See also “Humors of Westport (The),” “Maguinnis' Delight," “Milestone in the Garden (The)” and “Clydeside Lassies" for other tunes in this family.
The melody was entered as an untitled reel in the 1890's music manuscript collection of London dancing master Patrick D. Reidy, originally from Castleisland, County Kerry. Reidy was employed to teach dancing at various Gaelic League functions, and was a correspondent of Capt. Francis O'Neill in America. He sent O'Neill one of his manuscripts [1] containing this tune, which he credited to Micheal B. Shanahan as his source (see also "Shanahan's Hornpipe", attributed to him).
