N: According to Gearoid Ó hAllmhuráin, "Corney is Coming" is an old West Clare tune whose title is associated in local folklore with Cornelius
N: O'Brien, a County Clare landlord who lived in Birchfield House outside Liscannor. O’Brien is chiefly remembered today as the builder of the
N: famous O'Brien Tower near the Cliffs of Moher in 1837, an oft-photographed landmark. However, he also had a notorious reputation especially
N: with women, leading to the warning "Corney is coming (so look to your daughters)." An alternate suggestion is that the title refers to itinerant
N: 19th century fiddle master Corney Drew, in anticipation of his coming for a season of music and dance instruction. It was a favourite of uilleann
N: piper and whistle player Willie Clancy, of Miltown Malbay.
