Isn`t this two jigs?

I have the recordings of both Joe Burke and Brendan McGlinchey playing these but they both just called them knocknagow as if it was one tune.In Music from Ireland Volume 4 Bulmer and Sharpley seem to seperate them as nos 1 and 2 and credit Tommy Peoples as their source.I dont ever remember Peoples recording them.

Two jigs?

The tune comes in 4 parts in O'Neill's (Oak Publications 1976)

Knocknagow

Never heard this other than as a 4-part tune, cos. Can't see how it would work as a reel. Where does that come from, dulcie22 ?

The Knocknagow Reel

That's "Scotch Mary": http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/96 It's not related to the jig at all.
