Dinny O'Brien's/Shaskeen

Great tune, jocklet. I knew it as "Dinny O'Brien's" hornpipe some years before Pat Kilbride recorded it, and "De Danann" recorded it under that name too. Joe Burke regularly plays it under the name "The Shaskeen", and it is easy to see the similarities between it and the reel.
P.S. - I put in "D O'B's" as an alternative title and it's come up in about 6 recordings. Those sre more likely to be the reel of that name, and it might avoid confusion if you delete "D.O'B's" as a title.. Sorry about that. Well done.

I heard this on the Come West Along the Road DVD being lilted by Jimmy Sinnott. It was named "The Mullingar Races" but "The Mullingar Races" is more commonly known as a reel which is also to be found in the database.
