Around The Fairy Fort

“Around The Fairy Fort” is a barndance composed by Vincent Broderick. I picked it up at a session in McCarthy’s of Coore during Willie Clancy Week 2014, from my friend Samuel König, a great fiddle player from Switzerland. It is usually followed by an other barndance from Vincent Broderick called “The New Broom”, which I also learned at that session.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I’m learning to transpose by ear and find it good to validate against the written transcript.
    Kind of you too share.
    Got any others?

      Hi Ed! You’re very welcome, glad it helped! Not sure what you meant about transposing though, did you learn this tune in another key first? If I’m not mistaking Vincent Broderick composed it in D and that’s the only key I ever heard it in, but maybe I’m wrong!

      If you want to check a few other barndances I’ve transcribed a few in the “Other Tunes” section : https://tunesfromdoolin.com/category/other-tunes/

      Hope that helps and best regards from Doolin,
      Charles

    Hi there, you can print the entire page or do a screenshot. The sheet music itself is not an image file so you can’t save it or print it on its own. I offer printable PDFs to my subscribers on Patreon though and you can request tunes as a member, feel free to check it out: https://www.patreon.com/tunesfromdoolin

George White’s Favourite

A reel I like very much, “George White’s Favourite” is a tune that I associate with Christy Barry, Terry Bingham and James Devitt. It was also recorded by Hugh & Colm Healy on their album “Macalla na hÓige”, for which particular set they were joined by Noel O’Donoghue and Eric Healy.

Back of the Haggard (The)

I learned this slide from Eugene Lambe, a great piper and whistle player who did a huge amount of work recording the older musicians of North Clare back in the early 90s. Eugene himself learned “The Back of the Haggard” from the playing of Micho Russell.

Galway Hornpipe (The)

I learned “The Galway Hornpipe” from Hugh & Colm Healy’s album “Macalla na hÓige”. I always enjoy playing “The Good Natured Man” after it, I think it is a very nice change.
