T:Wild Irishman, The
R:Single Jig
M:12/8
L:1/8
B:Treoir 1974
N:Rev. John Quinn, C.C. of Lanesborough writes "I was very interested in your
N:O'Rourke's reel - Wild Irishman theory in a recent issue of "Treoir. I enclose a
N:'Wild Irishman' single jig taken down from a tape of Joe Kilmurray, a piper,k of
N:Ballynacargy, Co. Westmeath, who died about 10 years ago. It is one of the O'Rourke
N:Wild Irishman Clan - at least the second part of it. I wrote it as he played it, with
N:variations noted as well as I could. It is one of about 120 tunes recorded from Joe
N:Kilmurray by Patrick Greene of Ballinalee. In these recordings Joe played the tin
N:whistle having retired from piping a few years previously".
