BIDDY FROM MUCKCROSS. Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is associated with the Kilcar region of County Donegal, explains piper Brian McNamara, who says 'Biddy' was a lilter from the headland of Muckross, near Kilcar. She lilted at dances when there were no fiddles available [see also Caoimhin Mac Aoidh, Between the Jigs and the Reels].
