Monasteraden Fancy

Paul Brock says in the sleeve notes of his LP - Mo Chairdin:
"The Monasteraden Fancy, which was included in a set of reels recorded by the Aughrim Slopes Ceili Band in 1937, probably got it's name from a townland in Co. Sligo. It is located near Gurteen in South County Sligo in the general area which produced a number of the legendary Irish traditional fiddle players including James Morrison & Michael Coleman."

I just happened to know the tune from Maeve Donnelly and Peadar O'Loughlin's beautiful duet playing.
