These two jigs were composed by Piper Jackson, an Irish piper, fiddler, and composer from County Limerick, who published Jackson's Celebrated Irish Tunes in 1774. He composed many, many famous melodies including "Irish Washerwoman," "Groves Hornpipe," "Morgan Rattler," and almost any tune you can think of that has "Jackson" in the title. BOTTLE OF PUNCH is also known as "Jackson's Bottle of Brandy," and MOLLY BRANNIGHAN is also known as "Cosey's Jig," "Jimmy O'Brien," "Green Fields of America," and "Baine's Favourite." Johnny Wilmot's settings here are in the Key of D which suits the fiddle perfectly; the original Irish bagpipe set? ting was in the Key of G. Bottle of Punch Molly Brannighan Hughie Shortie's Reel Johnny Wilmot wrote this tune, and it's been a very popular reel ever since he recorded it. Hughie MacDonald is a character who most every fiddler knows and likes. He's from Inverness town.
