Kilfenora (B) Jig

This is the second in the set of three jigs from Clare's Kilfenora Ceili Band which have been played together this way since the mid fifties, around the time the Band won the All-Ireland in 3 consecutive years (1954,1955 & 1956).

Will, you seem to be going through a Danu(vian) phase at present. They do seem to have a few great tunes/settings on their CD's.

The first part was used as part of 'King of morning, Queen of day' in Horlips' Book of Invasions.

The last part

Hi,

There is a little mistake on the ABC. The last part is played twice as usual, and not 4 times ! The extra ':' must be removed :
