FANNING'S (Port an Fhionnánaigh). Irish, Jig (6/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. According to fiddler Máire O'Keefe, this tune was a great favorite of Kerry fiddler Denis Murphy's and was recorded from him by Séamus Ennis on January 29th, 1949, and subsequently included in the RTÉ publication "Denis Murphy, Music from Sliabh Luachra." Editor Jackie Small (CRE V) says the tune is related to "Clancy's Jig (2)," recorded in 1928 by accordion player P.J. Conlon in New York. The tune is sometimes miss-attributed to Fergal French.
