This tune has been called Ciorsdan Mhor (or Big Kirsty),
and Miss Stewart Bun Rannoch.
In Ireland it's been called Slash Away the Pressing Gang or Flash Away The Press Gang
and, as a 2/4 polka, The Kerry Cow. Breathnach also gives the following names: An Bealach
ar fad go Gaillimh, The Galway Girls (Aird), All the way from
Gallaway, Sarsfield March, The March of the Tribes to Galway. Recordings: The

| Alexandra Park |
A |
K2v4p6 |
|
There is an Alexandra Park in Glasgow; in the
book this reel immediately follows the strathspey
Riddrie, another Glasgow area near to
Alexandra Park, so it's likely that the pair of
them were specially composed for the collection. |

Bruce Olson: This was a song said to have been written by Larry Grogan after one Ally
(Alicia) Croker, and there are single sheet editions from c 1730. Grogan was a gentleman
piper of Wexford, Ireland during the early 18th century. Sam Foote for 'An Englishman in
Paris', 1753, changed it to Ally Croaker, which was then dubbed 'A New Song'. |
