Gan Ainm ??

It's a very jolly and light jig I learned many years ago, but I have never been told the name of it, so I don't know if it is in the session-library already. If anyone know the name - please........

Aargh........

I've heard this before, but now it's going to annoy me until I remember where. For some reason, I'm thinking Garry Shannon..................

Is it Parnell's March?
With those part endings it sounds more like a very fancy barndancey or hornpipey type thing with lots of twiddly triplets, rather than a true jig.

You're right Dow, it is a kind of fancy jiggeli-dooey stuff, sound like an american kind of Two-Step or......There is a jig called "My Dungannon Sweetheart" http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1575
it's a bit of the same style, and it's rather good to play as a second tune.

Parnell's March

Parnell's March, popularized by Leo Rowsome. I believe it was a theme pieces for a regular series of radio broadcasts featuring Rowsome and his piping quartet in the 1950s and early 60s.

Parnells March by Leo Rowesome

As the name implies it is a march or was played as one by Leo.I saw a hand written MS by Leo only last night with this very tune on it and he described as a March

Julie's Jig

Does anyone here have any information about this tune, Julie's Jig ?
http://tunedb.woodenflute.com/tunedb/tune_details_results.html?tune_id=5420&tune_name=Julie%27s%20Jig

I heard it played slightly differently by the Kilfenora Ceili Band on a recent Geantrai programme, but I can't find any recordings of it. I was wondering if it is indeed an Irish jig?

Thanks,
