McGREAVY'S (JIG). AKA and see "Eddie Kelly's Jig (1)," "Martin Talty's Jig," "Meelick Team (The)." Irish, Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The jig appears as “Martin Talty’s Jig” on Bernard O’Sullivan & Tommy McMahon's 1974 album "Clare Concertinas" (Topic Records 12TFRS502). The jig has been attributed to Talty, a piper, whistle and flute player from Glendine, County Clare, and friend and sometime playing partner with Miltown Malbay piper Willie Clancy. Peter Laban [1] tells the story of the first meeting between the two:
He [Talty] was sitting in the classroom in primary school. The teacher had left the room and Martin was trying out a little polka on the whistle. After going over the first part a voice behind him suddenly said "I think it goes actually like this," followed by the correct phrase on the whistle. This was Willie and the two became lifelong friends.
However, a stronger claim for the tune's composition belongs to East Galway flute player Eddie Kelly, who composed it as "Meelick Team (The)."
