ComhaltasLive #242 - 3: Maeve Flanagan on Fiddle plays the Knockawinna Jig
Now we have a fiddle solo from Maeve Flanagan, who learned her music from Brian Conway, her uncle, and from her mother Rose Conway Flanagan. The three-part jig which Maeve plays is often called “The Siamsa Jig”, having been popularised by the Siamsa Céilí Band from Dundalk who won three All-Irelands in a row from 1967 to 1969. The jig was actually compoased by Mícheál Ó hÉidhin, who called it “The Knockawinna Jig.”
Incidentally, Mícheál is Stiúrthóir of the SCT Examination System, the Irish traditional music examinations system run by Comhaltas and launched by President Mary McAleese in December 1998.
