Fanning’s

I learned “Fanning’s Jig” from the playing of Jackie Daly, who recorded it on his album “Many’s A Wild Night”. The ABC says it is in E minor but it really is a G / E minor tune.

I recorded this tune as part of a set of jigs I did for the #quarantunes challenge on Facebook, see video below.

It is also simply called “Dowd’s” or “O’Dowd’s” and was recorded by Tommy Peoples on his album “The Iron Man”. I am not really sure where I originally learned this tune though, I think it might have been from my friend Damian Werner.

I learned Lady Ann Montgomery from Noel O’Donoghue during sessions in Gus O’Connor’s Pub. This reel is a common session tune and is usually followed by “Maud Millar’s” and “Molloy’s Favourite” (around Doolin anyways).
