Owen Hackett's Jig

i transcribed this from an old Boys Of The Lough album.I think it was composed by Owen hackett,the banjo player.

I've heard this called Owen Hackett's and know it by that name from the playing of Boys of the Lough, but I learned it originally from Liz Carroll, who called it Paddy Gavin's.

I used to play this one with my schoolmates in Northumberland and always assumed it was a local tune. Someone Northern must've got it from Dave R...

I don't think its Northumbrian. I've not heard it up here and stylisticaly its not right either.

You think so? It struck me as being really Northumbrian in style - it would sound great on the pipes. I'm interested to know what you think is different...

Ah Will, I see that you've already realised that this is the same tune as: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/3282. I only twigged last night when I was playing tunes with some friends and they mentioned the other name. My setting's different again:

B2G Bcd|ecc Gce|dBG cAF|AGF G:|
|:GA|B2d gdB|c2e gec|B2d gdB|Adf fed|
B2d gdB|c2e gec|BdB cAF|AGF G:|

So might this mean that it's not composed by Owen Hackett, but that someone has learnt it from his playing?
