Jig Names

Does anyone have names for these 2 jigs? Always nice to hear an "F" jig, especially when Nuala's playing it. Have'nt come across the fiddler before.(I live in Melbourne and only get to Ireland every few years).

They're called:
The Mute Jig
The Disappearance (Slip jig)

Re: Jig Names

Aren't they both variations of this tune?

Re: Jig Names

Yeah, they're definitely slip jigs. They are also known as Jesus's Revenge and The Devil's Mercy.

Re: Jig Names

Actually one of them might be The Emperor's New Jig.

Re: Jig Names

Sorry, but spare a thought for those in Melbourne at the moment ... they're experiencing a heat wave and they've got bushfires ... so go easy, hey!

Here is a clip of Nuala Hehir and Liz Gaughan playing a lovely set of jigs (with no names given):

Played in F, mind you.

Re: Jig Names

Joe Liddy's is as good a name as any, but pedantry can be harnessed with a little bit of cunning...

Re: Jig Names

How does F resonate on the banjo? I love playing in F on the fiddle, it rings out so nicely. It's a shame so many people are opposed to playing in this key...
