MAIDS OF TRAMORE. AKA - "Maid of Tramore." AKA and see "Eviction (The)," "Harry's Loch," Kilfenora Lass (The)," "New Glenath (The)," "Noonday Feast (The)," "Scatter the Mud (2)." Irish, Double Jig. A Dorian/G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Tramore is a seaside place near the city of Waterford. Ryan's/Cole's jig "Eviction (The)" appears to be almost identical with "Maids of Tramore," and compares favorably with the version in Frank Roche's 1912 collection. Canon James Goodman's "New Glenath (The)" is also cognate in both strains. The first turn of "Maids of Tramore" (which Breathnach claims is faulty) is the same as that of "Scatter the Mud (2)" and "Noonday Feast (The)" although the second turn differs.
