TRIP TO BIRMINGHAM [2]. AKA and see “Dinny O'Brien’s (2),” “Josie McDermott's Reel (1),” “Peg McGrath's Reel (2),” "Pile of Bricks (The)." Irish, Reel (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Trip to Birmingham" is usually to flute and whistle player Josie McDermott (d. 1992), originally from Ballyfarnon, Co. Roscommon, who was also a lilter, singer and saxophone player. One authority, however, holds it was written by County Mayo fiddle player John McGrath. See also the related “Corner House,” and the note for “annotation:Kathleen Lawrie's Wedding.”
