The name comes from fiddler Hugh Gillespie’s 1938 recording of the tune usually known nowadays as “The Galway Rambler.” Paddy Finley (1884—1950)was a piccolo player who made a 78 RPM recording in 1927 for Brunswick Records with County Sligo-born fiddler Michael Coleman ("Old Man Dillon" and "Kerrigan's Fancy" AKA "Kerrigan's Jig/Kesh Jig (1) (The)"]]", and, on the flip side, the reel "Lord McDonald" followed by "Miss McGuiness" [1]). Compare also the first strains of “Fairy Hurlers (The)” and “Walsh’s Favourite.”
