Curragh, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The jig known as The Curragh is a traditional-style Irish tune composed by the accordion player Paddy O'Brien. Written in D major with a standard 6/8 meter, the piece exhibits the lively rhythm and lyrical melodic flow characteristic of the mid-20th-century County Offaly tradition. While specific historical associations for the title remain undocumented, the tune is widely performed by traditional musicians today as a vibrant example of O'Brien's prolific compositional output.
