Brigid of Knock
Unfortuneately, I know very little about this tune except I think it was written by Ed Reavy, and although a little tricky in the second half, it is a great tune when you get the fingering sorted
If anyone knows anything about the tune please do add to these comments !

Brigid Reavy
Brigid of Knock is named after Ed Reavy's wife. Originally Brigid Morley from a village called Aughtaboy in the parish of Knock, Co. Mayo Ireland. Reavy wrote many tunes with names from the locality included in the titles including the Aughtaboy Jig, Shanvaghera Reel (Shanvaghera being where she went to mass) and the Aughamore Reel (Aughamoreis another village about 2 miles from Aughtaboy where Brigid did her shopping). Hope that's enough info for you Enob
