PADDY O'CARROLL'S [2]. AKA and see "Boys of Tandragee (The)," “Burke's Jig (2),” “Rollicking Boys of Tandaragree,” “Jolly Corkonian (The).” Irish, Double Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is a step higher on the scale than the major-mode tunes in the "Rollicking Boys of Tandaragree/Boys of Tandragee (The)" tune family, putting it into the minor mode, however, the melodic contour is very similar. See also the first strain of "Paddy McFadden's Jig (2)."

Flute player Peter Horan and fiddler Fred Finn
