GATEHOUSE MAID [1], THE (Ainnir Tí an Gheata). Irish, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Paddy Killoran (1904-1965), originally from Ballymote, County Sligo, recorded the tune in November, 1937, in New York for Decca Records, pairing it (as the second tune) with "Down the Broom." The medley is still frequently played in modern Irish music sessions. "Gatehouse Maid" has been called part of the core South Sligo repertoire. Fr. John Quinn finds the tune related to the Scottish strathspey "Miss Drummond of Perth (1)."
