{{TuneAnnotation
|f_annotation='''JENNY'S/JENNIE'S WEDDING '''(Banais Shinéad). Irish (originally), American; Reel. D Mixolydian/Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cole, O'Neill): AABB (Miller, Taylor/Blue). The editor William Bradbury Ryan, of '''Ryan's Mammoth Collection''' (1883), improbably credits the tune to one "J. Hand", referring to one of two fiddle-playing brothers, Johnny and Jimmy Hand, who apparently were Boston-area stage musicians. [There are other tunes attributed to Hand in the volume that are also predate the musician]. O'Neill's version is quite close to the one printed previously in '''Ryan's Mammoth'''. The melody was popularized by County Clare musicians Paddy Murphy and Peter O'Loughlin, according to Leitrim piper Brian McNamara. A strain of this tune shows up in one of O'Neill's unique transcriptions (in '''Waifs and Strays''') of "[[Pat Tuohey’s Reel]]" (see note for "[[Annotation:Pat Tuohey’s Reel]]" for more). Mick Conneely gives "[[New Christmas Eve (1)]]" as an alternate title.
