CURRAGH RACES [2], THE. Irish, Reel. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB'. O'Neill (1922) remarks: "In former O'Neill publications John McFadden's setting of this reel was given preference, being in the florid style of that famous traditional fiddle (ed.-originally from County Mayo). The version here presented memorized from lilting by the editor in schoolboy days, may not be devoid of interest especially as the arrangement is suited to the scales of the Highland or Irish warpipes."
