PENNY CANDLE, THE. Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Taylor (1922) notes this melody is a composition of influential Co. Tipperary button accordion player Paddy O'Brien (1922-1991, son of noted fiddler Dinny O'Brien), who named it after Maeve Binchy's novel Light a Penny Candle. Binchy was herself an admirer of Irish music.
