O'CALLAGHAN'S LOW. AKA and see "Groves Hornpipe (The)." Irish, Hornpipe (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC. See note for "Groves Hornpipe" for more on this tune family. The tune, usually called "The Groves", was played by Pádraig O'Keeffe's uncle Cal Callaghan, from whom he received many tunes, and is thus known descriptively as "Callaghan's/O'Callaghan's Low" to differentiate it from the numerous other 'Callaghan' tunes.
