HUMOURS OF CARRIGAHOLT (Pléaráca Charraig an Chabhaltaigh). Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Breathnach, Cranitch): AABB (Miller & Perron). Carrigaholt is near the southwestern tip of County Clare. The original Irish name is Carraig an Chabhaltaigh, which translates as "rock of the fleet", and is probably a reference to a nearby place on the Shannon River that was once used as an anchorage.
