I want to put the Coleraine Jig (Am) and the Bank of Turf ( D )
in the same set. I need another tune as either the first or a bridge between the two. Any suggestions appreciated.
To go with Mix O'Lydian's suggestion, the Bath Star might work well as a first tune in your set, with the last triplet in the second part leading nicely into the first Am triplet of the Coleraine.
Thanks for those ideas thus far. The kesh works ( at the lilting stage anyway ) for me. The A major idea was one I was toying with already, maybe the Dancing Tables, so its good to to get a bit of a similar idea in that direction. I don't know the Bath Star but I will look it up. I'm doing some draft recordings at the moment and was considering a set of fast jigs to open my 'never to be released' CD. The two tunes I mentioned have an old European dance hall type sound to me so thats what I'm after. Cheers, Slim.
I always play the Bank of Turf first or in the middle of a set, as I find it is one of those tunes that wants to repeat itself all the time. Try the Bank of Turf....Coleraine and finish with The Cliffs of Moher.

Re: Help with a Set
Maybe something in A Major between the two.

Re: Help with a Set
One possibility would be to start the set with a G-Major tune. For preference, a jig with a similar rhythmic structure - e.g. "The Kesh".
