BROSNAHAN'S FROLICS [1]. AKA and see "Tom Busby's." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears as an untitled jig in Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hÉireann IV (1996, No. 27), where he says "Brosnahan's Frolic's" is the name for the tune in County Kerry. It was also entered as an untitled jig in Book 3 of the large c. 1883 music manuscript collection of County Leitrim piper and fiddler biography:Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894), Breathnach's source for the tune.
A version of the first strain of Grier's tune can also be found in the mid-19th music manuscript collection of Canon wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (1828-1896), under the title "Brosnahin's/Brosnahan's Frolics (2)."
