ELEVENTH OF OCTOBER. AKA - "11th of October." AKA and see "After the Hare," "Ugly Customer (An)." Irish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. See note for "Annotation:Ugly Customer (An)" for more. Reseracher Conor Ward finds the reel in local manuscripts from County Leitrim (Stephen Grier, c. 1883) and County Longford (Patrick O'Farrll, c. 1860's) from the 1860's onwards with Levey's "Eleventh of October" title but also as "Ninth of August (The)." However, he has found a still earlier version printed in America by Boston publisher Elias Howe in Musician's Omnibus, vol. 2 (185?, p.123) as "Scotch Reel."

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Levey (Dance Music of Ireland, 2nd Collection), 1873; No. 52, p. 22.
