I've heard this (and play it) in G rather than D.

MARION EGAN'S

Please all note that BLARNEYSTAR is wrong. Marian Egan (was Flannery then) did not compose it – ask her and she will tell you so. I composed it for her when we played together in our group SULLIVAN'S PRIVATE STOCK.
She played it as a whistle solo (in G) on my album SULLY'S FANCY (HM301). A few years later I changed the key to A, added a 3rd part and played it as a banjo solo on my album DUBLIN BANJOS (HM309).
But Marian's rendition has become most popular (2 parts in G, or A, but not the key of D as shown here). Please note the correct details now are: MARIAN'S FAVOURITE, composed by Tony Sullivan, aka SULLY.
Comment from Tony (Sully) Sullivan, 7th July 2009.
