BUTLERS OF GLEN AVENUE, THE. AKA and see "Christy Barry's [2]," "Tony O'Sullivan's." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by banjo player Tony "Sully" Sullivan, who lives in England and who has published several collections of session tunes. The title refers to friends of his, Maire and the late Johnny Butler who lived in Glen Avenue, Blackley. Johnny was the leader of The Manchester Céilí Band, who performed at St.Brendan's. The "Butlers of Glen Avenue" tune on the Lunasa album is miss-titled, and is in reality another of Sullivan's compositions called "The Barmaid."

Printed source: Sullivan (Sully's Irish Music Book, vol. 1), 1979.

Recorded sources: Kevin Crawford - "D Flute Album" (appears as 2nd tune in the Christy Barry set). Tabache - "Are You Willing."
