The tune we will learn here was written by Paddy Fahey, the great fiddler and tune writer from East Galway. He is one of my favourite tunesmiths. He wrote dozens of great tunes - jigs, reels and hornpipes. He didn't name any of his tunes, so we just call them all "Paddy Fahey's", (though they have been numbered as part of Maria Holohan's thesis on Paddy's compositions). This one is known as Paddy Fahey's jig no.4.
