SONNY BROGAN'S [2]. AKA and see “Bill Harte's Jig (1),” “Rookery (2) (The).” Irish, Jig (6/8 time). E Dorian (Miller & Perron, O’Malley). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Named after the late County Dublin accordion player Sonny Brogan (d. 1966), originally from Prosperous, County Kildare. Brogan made records in the 1930’s with The Lough Gill Quartet and was a member of Ceoltóirí Chualann under the direction of Seán Ó Riada. However, the tune has several alternate titles, many stemming from influential players who rendered it, including Bill Harte, also a Dublin accordion player. Chicago fiddler Liz Carroll called it “The Rookery” on her recording.
