KILFENORA JIG [1]. Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'CCDDEE' (Harker/Rafferty): AABB'CCDDEE'FF'GG' (Mallinson). The tune was recorded by the renowned Kilfenora Ceili Band and played as its signature tune (followed by "Kilfenora Jig (4)"). Mike Rafferty also remembers it being played by the Laoichtín Naofa Ceili Band at Miltown Malbay with Willie Clancy (Harker, 2005). The jig "Is Fear Paidir na Port" is incorporated into the Kilfenora version of the tune, and is related to O'Neill's "Chorus Jig (5)." The melody is similar that of the reel "Glen Road to Carrick."

Source for notated version: New Jersey flute player Mike Rafferty, born in Ballinakill, Co. Galway, in 1926 [Harker].

Printed sources: Harker (300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty), 2005; No. 243, p. 75. Mallinson (100 Enduring), 1995; No. 33, p. 14.

Recorded sources: Dezi Donnelly - "Familiar Footsteps." Arcady - "Many Happy Returns."
