TRIP TO ATHLONE(, A). AKA - "Maid of Athlone (The)." AKA and see “Newport Lass (The).” Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The popular jig "Trip to Athlone" was first recorded by flute player John McKenna, accompanied by Eddie Meehan on flute and Larry Redican on fiddle. The jig was also recorded by the Tulla Ceili Band, Tulla, County Clare, and by east Clare fiddlers Paddy Canny and P.J. Hayes in 1959. Some sources give the key as ‘D’ major, but Randy Miller says a “close hearing (to the Canny/Hayes recording) confirms the use of the C natural throughout.”
