The parts are played AB (Miller & Perron), AABB (Flaherty,<br> McGuire & Keegan, Perlman) or AA’BB’ (Mulvihill, O’Malley).<br> The tune is a derivation of an older jig called "Paddy O’Carrol’s," appearing in<br> different forms throughout the Britain and Ireland. Luke O’Malley has it in his<br> collection as "Paddy O’Carroll," though clearly it is the "Richard Brennan's" jig.<br> In England, an early version can be found in the c. 1847 music manuscript collection of<br> Ellis Knowles (Radcliffe, Lancashire, north-west England) under the title "Dennis McCaster". <br> It was printed in Cranitch's Irish Fiddle Book (1996) (appears as “Brennan’s Favourite”),<br> Flaherty's Trip to Sligo (1990),<br> McGuire & Keegan's Irish Tunes by the 100, vol. 1 (1975),<br> Miller & Perron's Irish Traditional Fiddle Music vol. 3 (1977),<br> Miller & Perron's Irish Traditional Fiddle Music 2nd Edition (2006),<br> Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986)(appears as “Richard Brennan’s”),<br> O’Malley's Luke O’Malley’s Collection of Irish Music, vol. 1 (1976)<br> (appears as “Paddy O’Carroll”),<br> Perlman's The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island (1996). <br> It was recorded James Kelly on Capel Street (1989),<br> Paddy O’Brien,<br> Michael Coleman (1922),<br> Michael Coleman (1936),<br> Buddy MacMaster on Judique on the Floor (appears as “Richard Brennan’s Jig”),<br> Tony DeMarco on The Sligo Indians (2008). <br>
