LITTLE BAG OF POTATOES [1], THE (An Mála beag Fataí). AKA and see "Bag of Potatoes (1) (The)," "Bag of Spuds (The)," "Little Bag of Spuds (The)," "What the Devil Ails You?" Irish, Reel. G Major (Breathnach): D Major (Tubridy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Tubridy): AABB (Breathnach). Breathnach's source, flute player Michael Tubridy, called the tune "The Bag of Potatoes," but since Breathnach had a reel by that title he changed it a bit. Each part consists of one phrase, repeated, which Tubridy told him was very widespread in County Clare.

Source for notated version: Michael Tubridy/Michael Ó Tiobraide (Ireland) [Breathnach].

Printed sources: Breathnach (CRÉ I), 1963; No. 94, p. 41. Tubridy (Irish Traditional Music, vol. 1), 1999; p. 17 (appears as "The Little Bag of Peaties").

Recorded sources: Ceirníní Claddaig CC7, The Chieftains - "The Chieftains 2" (1969. Appears as "Bag of Potatoes").
