SONNY BROGAN'S [2]. AKA and see “Bill Harte's Jig (1),” "Out on the Ocean," “Rookery (2) (The)," "Tom Hearte's.” 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, a member of the Dublin Garda, or police force. 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 played it, including Bill Harte, also a Dublin accordion player. Chicago fiddler Liz Carroll called the jig “The Rookery” on her recording "A Friend Indeed" (1978).
