Jim Conroy's Jig
I got this tune off a wonderful, old-fashioned recording: The Branch Line by Jack and Charlie Coen (I posted it to the Recordings section). On The Branch Line, this jig is played solo by Jack Coen on flute, as the second tune in a set. The first tune, called John Conroy's Jig, is better known as the Lilting Banshee (Jack keeps all the Es in the A-part low).
The second jig is a lovely tune, built around a few appregios. Although it lends itself to a good few rolls, Jack Coen doesn't do much more than throw in a double-cut here or there and plays no rolls at all. Particularly in the A-part that makes you follow the flow of the tune more, I think.
I am curious to hear if anyone plays this particular jig or knows it by another name. The second part is a bit like Bride's Favorite.

The Branch Line
The Branch Line by Jack and Charlie Coen is one
of my favourite albums.
I like a lot the track with the flings.
