MUINEACHAN SWITCH, THE. AKA and see "Monaghan Switch (The)," Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. A Major. The tune was collected in 1903 by Padraig Mac Aodh O'Neill from the playing of Fawans, Kilmacrennan, Donegal, farmer and schoolmaster Proinseas Mac Suibhne, and published Mac Aodh O'Neill's Songs of Uladh. Mac Suibhne learned it from an old Glenswilly fiddler named Llilliam Ua Curthainn, and a notation in the book states it was popular with the older folk around Kilmacrennan [Caoimhin Mac Aoidh, 1994]. See also the related "Monaghan Twig (1)."
