Thread Name: Provenance of 'Mallow Fling'?
Subject: RE: Provenance of 'Mallow Fling'?
There are a dozen copies of the tune "Rakes of Mallow" listed that are prior to 1815 in the Irish tune index at www.erols.com/olsonw, but none are called "Mallow Fling".


Roger Fiske calls the tune "Mallow Fling" in 'English Theatre
Music in the 18th Century', but where does that name come from?
