FOYNES JIG, THE. AKA and see "Dawn's Jig," "Paddy Taylor's Jig (2)." Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Harker/Rafferty): AABB (Breathnach, Bulemr & Sharpley). The tune has variously been credited to County Clare fiddler Paddy Taylor, and to fiddler Martin Mulvihill, who was born in Ballygoughlin, not far from the busy port of Foynes on the Shannon estuary. Mulvihill emigrated to the Bronx, New York, and became a substantial player and teacher. The alternate title, "Dawn's Jig," is named for Mulvihill's daughter.
