Back to Prohibition (The)


PROHIBITION, THE. AKA and see “Ladies of Leinster (The).” Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Mulvihill credits the composition to fiddler Lad O’Beirne (New York), although Paul de Grae points out the tune is nearly note-for-note the same as “Ladies of Leinster (The)” as printed by O’Neill (DMI 691, MOI 1461), and by Mulvihill later in his own volume (No. 59). The tune was recorded as "The Prohibition" by County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman and Tom Gannon in 1922.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Mulvihill (1st Collection), 1986; No. 4, p. 1.

Recorded sources: New Republic 2330 (78 RPM), Micheal Coleman & Tom Gannon (1922).
