KILLASHANDRA LASSES, THE (Cailinide Ua Cill-A'-Sean-Rata). AKA and see "Humors of Castle Lyons/Humors of Castlelyons (The)," "Judy McFadden's," "Patrick Maloney's Favorite," "Rambling Pitchfork (The)," "Road to Granard (The)," "Roland's Return." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Killashandra [1] is a town in County Cavan, once a thriving center for the linen trade, with origins in the Ulster Plantation. The tune, particularly in the first strain, belongs to a wide and varied tune family that includes both minor and modal settings, but which retains similar melodic contour.
