BEHIND THE BUSH IN THE GARDEN [7]. Irish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Behind the Bush in the Garden [7]" is contained in the music manuscript collection of curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), Oriel region, south Ulster[1]. The first strain is shared with "Behind the Bush" but the second strains differ.
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
