Tune of the Day: Going to Donnybrook

Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's 1903 collection Music of Ireland, but the melody appears as “Off to Donnybrook” in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), and, even earlier, in the Gunn Family manuscripts of County Fermanagh, c. 1865, as “Humors of Donnybrook”. The tune has been recorded a number of times by Cape Breton fiddlers.

Donnybrook is a district of the city of Dublin, which from 1204 to 1855 hosted an annual fair.
