"The Peacock's Feather", in Gaelic "Cleite na Péacóige" is an Irish hornpipe in D Major.<br> The parts are played AA'BB (Breathnach), AA’BB’ (Black, Harker/Rafferty).<br> Black identifies this as an East Galway tune. However, Caoimhin Mac Aoidh attributes it to<br> Joe Holmes of County Antrim, a singer and fiddler who brought the tune to Galway in the early<br> 1970’s. It seems that Holmes and a young Len Graham would travel to stay with friends, the<br> Keanes of Caherlistrane and introduced the tune on one of his visits.<br> It was printed Black's Music’s the Very Best Thing (1996), Breathnach's CRÉ III (1985),<br> Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005).<br> It was recorded by Máire Ní Chathasaigh & Chris Newman on The Living Wood, Frankie Gavin on<br> Traditional Music of Ireland (1977), Frankie Gavin & Alex Finn (1977), Mick Moloney on Strings<br> Attached and others.<br>
