History: ‘The Maid Behind the Bar’ is one of the most popular Irish tunes in modern sessions. ‘The Maid Behind the Bar’ first appeared in print under the name ‘Judy’s Reel’ in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection published in 1882 in Boston. The tune also appeared as ‘The Green Mountains’ in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland (1903). ‘The Maid Behind the Bar’ was a favourite dance tune in the US after it was brought over from Ireland by refugees from The Great Irish Famine. Piper Tom Ennis and Sligo fiddler James Morrison popularised the tune when they recorded it in 1922.
