Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin (1999) says the tune was collected by O’Neill during a trip to East Clare in 1906, where, in the Sliabh Aughty area, he had several tunes from fiddler Johnny Allen, a dance musician and contemporary of Pat Canny and a blind fiddler named Paddy MacNamara. The latter taught music in the region in the early part of the 20thcentury. See “Tomgraney Castle (1).”
