John McHugh’s

McHugh’s Jig (aka “John McHugh’s” or “Kevin McHugh’s”) is a very common session tune here in Doolin, and all over Ireland. I learned it at one of the Super Sunday sessions in O’Connor’s Pub with Noel O’Donoghue, Sean Vaughan and Hugh Healy.

It is part of one of my favourite sets, which is associated with the Kilfenora Ceili Band, and consists of “Sweet Marie” (aka “Parnell’s March”), another jig/slide (can’t remember the name!) and finishes with “John McHugh’s”.

I recorded a simple version of this tune on Tunes From Doolin’s YouTube Channel, you can have a look below!

Old John’s

“Old John’s” has been one of my favourite jigs for many years. I learned it from a recording of Tommy Peoples and also associate it with Tony MacMahon, the great accordion player from Clare.

Master Crowley’s

Master Crowley’s is a reel I learned from Hugh Healy, a great concertina player from Corofin in Co. Clare. It is sometimes played with a third part which is actually the first part of “The Roscommon Reel” (also known as Master Crowley’s!), and I’ve even heard the two tunes play together as a 5-part reel.
