Ryan's ?

So who calls it "Ryan's" ?

Sonny Brogan

This tune is usually called after either Sonny Brogan and Bill Harte, two pioneering box players in Dubin.

"The Rookery" is a name more often applied to other tunes, including a version "Whelan's Jig" (from Tommy Whelan) on the recording by Jack and Charlie Coen.
