MAID OF BANBRIDGE, THE (An Cailin Ua Droiciod-na-Banna). Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. 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, as Paul de Grae points out. He thinks it conceivable that it was either composed or named by him, as the first appearance of the tune is in O'Neill's 1903 volume.

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 350, p. 61.
