Anyone know where I can find notation for this one?
Thanks
Simon
John Chamber’s tune finder has it - just type in the name of the tune you’re after and then you can choose if you want it as an ABC or notation etc.
Also known as the Choice Wife, or the Choice Bride, which are sort of kind of translations of An Phis Filuch, an Irish title whose literal translation isin’t repeatable on a family oriented message board such as this.
Sorry, Kevin, I beg to differ. Modern English provides a whole lexicon of euphemisms that allow us to translate “An Phis Fliuch” to “The Wet Pussy”. 
Isn’t modern communications technology wonderful?

I call it “The Damp Cat”. However, I entertain the notion that an phis fliuch was O’Farrell’s welcome into Limerick. He wrote the first popular tutorial for the Union Pipes, right? And all Limerick rejoiced.
O’Farrell called it “Welcome to Limerick”, ergo “O’Farrell’s Welcome to Limerick”.
However, you will see the tune called “An Phis Fliuch” in many published music manuscripts. Some of the more bashful types have tried to call it “The Choice Wife” to hide the fact that the Irish have many alternative (should I say “colourful”? “vulgar”?) names for most tunes, place names, each other, the weather, etc.
As I recall, the Chieftains called it “The Wet Quim” on their first or second LP, which made me howl laughing. “Quim” is about as antiquated a term as “jism”. I’m sure Paddy Moloney had a good laugh coming up with that translation, as well.

Yeah, tell me about it. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Hey, djm, it just hit me: your avatar…a damp cat!!
Nano, actually that’s just a dead cat, and strikingly similar to what I look like first thing in the morning. I would much rather wake up to na phis fliuch.
Great thanks to whoever posted the JC tunefider site. I’ve had a blast with that. They even have a lot of Dutch, French and Spanish tunes. Lots of fun searching on that.

Check out the track listing for track 9 on the Tannahill Weavers Passage album for my favorite tune title as I am starting to get old timer’s disease of CRS.
I just call it “The Fish Tune.”

(If you think about it that correlates to both the English and Gaelic translations.)
Royce, my mind’s not that dirty!

The indelicate title (recte “An phis fhliuch”) is reportedly a jokey Willie Clancy innovation which stuck to the tune. I take it to be his very approximate translation of “The choice bride”. Or it may be that O’Farrell was a bit of a Jack the Lad, and that inferences were drawn about the nature of his welcome.
My own private joke is to play it in a set preceded by “Will you come down to Limerick” (a.k.a. “the Munster Gimlet”, which is the real point of the joke) and “Hardiman the fiddler”, which an esprit mal tourné can also interpret in more than one way.
I’ve heard that, too, and that Willie was given to arch renamings of tunes. Maybe his first name drove him into that disposition. 
And since I’ve already exposed the way my mind works, you can imagine what I though when I first heard of my local mates and sessionaires going off to “Willie Week.”
