MICHAEL GORMAN'S. AKA and see "Andrew Carey," "Hills of Tipperary (The)," "Paddy Taylor's," "Tipperary Hills." Irish, Hop Jig. The tune is Sligo fiddler Michael Gorman's idiosyncratic rendering of the slip jig "Tipperary Hills," known in England and Scotland as "Andrew Carey" (and variant titles). Gorman plays it in 9/8 time, although with a similar rhythm to a single jig, the result giving the feeling of a 3/4 tune, like a mazurka.

Recorded sources: Green Linnett, SIF 3005, Bothy Band - "Old Hag You Have Killed Me" (Probably called Michael Gorman's after the 1956 recording of the tune by Gorman on Folkways FW 6819, "Irish Jigs, Reels & Hornpipes" {1956}).
