CAPTAIN MAGAN. Irish, Planxty (6/8 time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). O'Sullivan believes 'Captain Magan' is the same person as Morgan Magan (d. 1738) of Togherstown, County Westmeath, the subject of a popular O'Carolan air called "Morgan Magan."
