CONNACHT HEIFERS (Budógaí Chonnacht). AKA - "Connaught Heifers." AKA and see "Silver Mines (2) (The)." Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian/G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Connaught was one of the five old provinces of Ireland (along with Ulster, Leinster, Meath, and Munster), named for the ancient tribe who lived there, the Connachta. The alternate title, "The Silver Mines," is found in Petrie's Complete Collection (1905); albeit a "faulty version", opines Breathnach.

Source for notated version: pipers Seán Potts (Ireland) [Breathnach]; piper Willie Clancy (1918-1973, Miltown Malbay, west Clare) [Mitchell].

Printed source: Breathnach (CRÉ I), 1963; No. 89, p. 39. Mitchell (Willie Clancy), 1993; No. 62, p. 65.
