Youghal Quay

Just in case anyone was wondering...this town in Ireland is pronounced "yawl", is located in Co. Cork, and Sir Walter Raliegh was once its mayor.

This is a Paddy O'Brien composition, recorded by him with Seamus Connolly on their "Banks of the Shannon" EP. It is not the same tune as "Miss Johnson's/Johnston's/Johnstone's."

This reel was a favorite of the late fiddler Johnny Cronin, who played it in virtually every session in the later years of his too-short life.

This tune appears on Dervish's At The End Of The Day, but under the title Miss Johnstone's, which, as blarneystar says, is a different but similar tune http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2411. On the album, it is preceded by an adaptation of this tune in mazurka time http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/5794.

...In hop jig time, I should say, not mazurka.
