"Hush the Cat" would seem to be an older tune with several variants. As usual, the first strains are more or less cognate with each other, but the second strains show more variation and less correspondence.
The tune was entered as a duple-time reel in the c. 1909 music manuscript collection in the possession of Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), a fiddler and curate in the Oriel region of south Ulster[1]. Gerry O'Connor (2018) remarks that the tune has the character of a Highland, and suggested it had been obtained from a piper. However, it also may be a miss-transcription or mishearing of the jig setting, or it may be an attempt to transcribe a slide (12/8 time).

- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
