Many great old tunes such as this were played during Scully’s lifetime. It’s a typical west Co. Clare hornpipe: its loose and jolly tempo makes it ideal for dancing. Scully’s fiddle music was to inspire his son Bobby into taking up the fiddle. Bobby in turn recorded this on an old Mulligan LP, which gave the tune new recognition among a variety of players.
