"Píobaire na Gruaige."
A piper, name now unknown, who lived in this district forty or fifty years ago, or at least played here. He wore long hair, down to his shoulders, hence the leas-ainm above-mentioned. Many of the tunes he used to play are still played in the district. Twenty years ago I took down nearly all the dance tunes of the locality from Timothy Geary (fiddler), Coolacoosane, and from others. Some had no name, but were called Healy's Reel, Mitchell's Reel, or "Píobaire na Gruaige" etc. from the fiddler or piper who used to play them. Healy, Mitchell, Casey, and Martin were fiddlers who usually travelled around to weddings parties, and all kinds of dances, or with a dancing-master.
