Who knows it and can send it to me in Gif or ABC?
Mail to stefanie.bieber@querfloete-frankfurt.de

Re: Mooncoin-Jig

May I interject here and add a word or two.

If anybody knows this tune, rather than simply sending it to Stefanie, how about submitting it to the site?

C'mon, Stefanie, don't be greedy - there might be other people who would like to know the tune, too, y'know.

Re: Mooncoin-Jig

I've always heard that the Mooncoin Jig was a 'Northern' jig. If anyone has more information, send it along.
Here is a site that has the Mooncoin Jig in ABCs or as a Gif. Simply hit the button on the left that reads
Jigs M-Z: http://www.prof.co.uk/irish/jigs
I like to play the first 2 quarter notes of the phrase as triplets.

Re: Mooncoin-Jig

There is a village in south Co. Kilkenny called Mooncoin which I allways assumed to be the source of this tune. I'm open to correction though.

You can hear it on the 'In Full Spate' album played by Paddy Glackin.

Re the Kilkenny Mooncoin,I can only say that it sounds very northern to me.Either that or a particularly well-primed Kerryman's tune!
