Knocknashee is by Pat Murphy, which was first presented in early 2025 during the Nenagh Set Dancing weekend held in January 2026.
Knocknashee is the name of a historic mountain plateau in the Ox Mountains near Sligo. According to Wikipedia, the name of the plateau itself comes from Irish and means something like “fairy hill”. It lies approximately 7 km north of Tubbercurry, the town that hosts the South Sligo Summer School every year during the second week of July.
