KILFINANE JIG, THE (Port Cill-Finain). AKA and see "Boring the Leather (2)," "Come with Me Now," "Connaughtman (The)," "Down the Back Lane," "Humors of Ayle House (The)," "Shoemaker's Fancy (The),""Tollach an Leathair," "When You Go Home." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Paul de Grae writes that it is likely Francis O'Neill obtained the jig from artist George Petrie's (1790-1866) manuscript collection, where it can be found as an untitled jig obtained from another collector, P.W. Joyce (1827-1914), who had it "from D. Cleary, Kilfinane." The settings are close but not identical, perhaps the result of a reworking by Francis O'Neill's transcriber and collaborator, James O'Neill [1]. "Connaughtman (The)," "Humors of Ayle House (The)" and "Down the Back Lane" are related tunes.
