MAID OF BANBRIDGE, THE (An Cailin Ua Droiciod-na-Banna). Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major (O'Neill): A Flat Major (Petrie). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB.

James O'Neill

Source for notated version: "O'Neill" [O'Neill]. Chicago Police Sergeant and fiddler James O'Neill was originally from Banbridge, County Down. However, the tune in O'Neill is note-for-note the same as an untitled air in George Petrie's 1855 collection.

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 350, p. 61. Petrie (Ancient Music of Ireland), 1855; No. 162, p. 107 (appears as an untitled air).
