TRIP TO ATHLONE(, A). AKA - "Maid of Athlone (The)." AKA and see “Newport Lass (The).” Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The popular jig "Trip to Athlone" was first recorded by The Rosaleen Quartet (flute player Eddie Meehan and Leitrim flute player John McKenna, with fiddler Larry Recdican and an unknown piano player) in New York in 1937 (paired with "Hag with the Money (The)]" and released on a Decca 78 RPM (under the alternate title "Newport Lass"). The jig was also recorded by the Tulla Ceili Band, Tulla, County Clare, and by east Clare fiddlers Paddy Canny and P.J. Hayes in 1959. Some sources give the key as ‘D’ major, but Randy Miller says a “close hearing (to the Canny/Hayes recording) confirms the use of the C natural throughout.”
