Katie's Fancy

This 3-part jig came to me from the playing of Co. Armagh box and whistle-player Leo McCann, who lived for a few years in Aberdeen. I believe he might have learned it from a recording of Jacky Daly and Seamus & Manus McGuire, who recorded it as the group “Buttons & Bows” on the LP titled “The First Month Of Summer”.
