Good D tune
I am not sure but I think this is another great one for beginners. I don't see too many of them having problems with this one. I think everyone will find a good driving feel to the A part. That's what attracted me to it.
I have no idea where this tune can be heard. I learned it off a commedian friend of mine.

Kilfenora Jig
This is the last jig in a series of 3 played by the great Kilfenora Ceili Band from Clare. It was made famous originally by the Band back in the fifties but is also played today by the new Kilfenora (All-Ireland champion Ceili Band in 1993, 1994 and 1995 - one of the few bands ever to make it "three in a row").
I'll try and post the other 2 jigs in the series now for any of you musicians heading down for a session in Clare!

I changed the name
By request and because that's how it is. Thanks for the information Bannerman

I changed it back
Because the this tune is called "The Kilfenora", not "The Kilfenora 3" or "The Kilfenora C" or "The Kilfenora Mark III", just "The Kilfenora".

Thomond Bridge
Clicking on Thomond Brodge in the listing for Eamonn Cotter's CD brings up the music for Kilfenora jig, which is, of course, entirely unrelated to the hornpipe Cotter recorded.

Kilfenora Jig
The Johnstons {Paul Brady, Mick Moloney as youngsters} do a cool version of it for those pickers out there.

BBAA
Note: The above link is to a version where the parts are reversed of how they are presented here, and that is the first way I'd learned it, but I've known it both ways as well...

Never heard the Uncle Jim version in A in sessions, but the one posted here gets played almost every week in my session. It always gets played after the other Kilfenora jigs (boring - we must stop doing that), and never as a slide, but as a nice rolling jig, with the part that starts |F2A ABA| as the A-part. I play bars 3 & 4 as |G2B ~B2A|~B2A Bcd| and bar 2 of the B-part I sometimes play as |dfe ~d3| and sometimes as |DFA ~d3|.

AABB / BBAA ~ ???
I wonder how if it is just the old Kilfenora Ceili Band recording that reversed the order of the parts. In it's various guises and keys I have mostly seen it transcribed, except for those things based on the Kilfenora set, with it starting high, in this case:
A-part:
|: d2 A F2 A | ~ but as time shows, it works both ways...
