The Chorus Jig

This isn't the one on the Tommy Peoples' album. That's Queen Of The Rushes http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/710.

One to play when you're sick of the Kilfenora.

Kilfe-Chorus

Isn't it just another setting of the Kilfenora (2nd one)

Great tune anyway whichever way you play it.
Dezi Donnelly does a great job on it on his Familiar Footsteps album

It's a Scottish setting of it, and close, but not that close, Donough. It's a closer relative to its Northumbrian equivalent the Holey Ha'penny http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1521.

The deed is done ~ now for some 'English' and 'Country Dance' carry on...

The Chorus Jig

Great tune! Stumbled across it in the Skye Collection (1887) so it's at least that old.
