PADDY O'BRIEN'S HORNPIPE [1] (Cornphíopa Phádraig Uí Bhriain). AKA and see “Athlone Hornpipe (The),” "Mountain Stream (1)," "Paddy Killoran's," "Tara Brooch (The)," "Western Hornpipe (The)." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The Paddy O'Brien named in the title is probably the button accordion player from Co. Tipperary (1922-1991), the son of renowned fiddler Dinny O'Brien. Paddy is recognized as having been a virtuoso on his instrument (along with Joe Cooley), and played and recorded with a variety of bands, including the Tulla Ceili Band, the Ormond Ceili Band and the Aughrim Ceili Band. Breathnach’s source, Seamus Thompson, played the tune in the key of C Major on his recording, and the tune is heard in both keys at sessions. County Sligo born fiddler Michael Coleman recorded the tune as "The Western."

Source for notated version: fiddler Seamus Thompson (Ireland) [Breathnach].
