P.J. MOLONEY’S (HORNPIPE). AKA and see "McMahon's Hornpipe (1)," "O'Brien's Hornpipe," “Seán Ryan's Hornpipe (3).” Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Nenagh, County Tipperary, fiddler Seán Ryan (1919-1985), who, with Co. Tipperary flute player P.J. Maloney, won the All Ireland duet competitions in the 1950's. Ryan himself won the Senior All Ireland competition in the mid-1950's, and Maloney was All-Ireland flute champion in 1958. Together they recorded one album for Avoca Records in 1960. It is perhaps through this dual recording that the tune acquired Maloney's name, however, it is more correctly identified as "Seán Ryan's Hornpipe (3)" (see note for that tune for further information).
