ST. MARY'S. AKA and see “Ballymote,” “[[Church Street Polka [1]]," “Flanagan’s Polka,” “Gurteen Cross,” "Kittie Mannix's Polka," “Oyster River Reel,” “Paige's," "Sweeney's.” Irish (originally), English; Polka (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Mallinson): AABB’ (Moylan): AA’BB’ (Callaghan). A polka from the north ofIreland, from the Sligo/Roscommon/Leitrim region. It was recorded on their first album by the Chieftains, who paired it with “Church Street Polka (2)," a pairing that mirrored the original, by Paddy Killoran’s Irish Orchestra. The latter recorded it inNew Yorkin 1937 under the set title “Memories of Ballymote.” The recording was very influential, but the titles of the paired tunes in the set became garbled, so that this melody is sometimes called “Church Street Polka” in some collections. See note for “annotation:Church Street Polka (2)" for more information regarding the title, which comes from the St. Mary’s Music Club of the 1950’s in Dublin, an influential traditional music gathering. “Oyster River Reel/Hornpipe” is a related tune. Source O’Leary associates the tune with west Kerry fiddler Julia Clifford. The tune has become quite popular with English traditional musicians since the recording by the Catsfield Steamers, c. 1976.
