Gortnatubrid, The
The Gortnatubrid, The is a traditional polka in 2/4 meter and B dorian mode composed by the well-known Irish fiddler Séamus Creagh. Written with the lively and rhythmic character typical of Sliabh Luachra dance music, it is played with a brisk tempo and a driving, bouncy feel suited for step dancing. While specific historical associations or exact composition dates for the tune are not widely documented, Creagh's contributions to the modern Irish tradition are well established.
