 JOHNNY GOING TO CEILI. Irish, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Ciaran Carson mentions the tune in his book Last Night's Fun (1996), played in a set with "Long Slender Sally (The)" and "Gosson that Beat His Father (The)," obtained from flute player Cathal McConnell "of Ballanaleck on the shores of Lough Erne." Carson thought McConnell had the set from the late John Maguire, father of fiddle 'maestro' Sean McGuire [sic].
