CONNIE O'CONNELL'S (JIG) [1]. AKA and see "Jolly Beggar (1) (The)," "Michael Dwyer's Jig," "Two and Sixpenny Girl (The)." Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BBCC'. A re-working of "The Two-and-Sixpenny Girl" with the addition of another part. Jackie Daly and Seamus Creagh recorded the tune as "Connie O'Connell's" after a fiddler player from Kilnamartyra, Múscraí (near Ballyvourney in west Cork). According to Breathnach (1985), the title is from County Limerick. County Fermanagh flute player Cathal McConnell recorded it in 1970 as "McNamara's Jig."

There are melodic similarities with group of jigs under the titles "Aherlow Jig," "Money I Want (The)," "Quinn's Jig," "Ryan's Travels," "Spirits of Whisky (2)," and "Three Little Drummers (1) (The)."
