Price of My Pig

This is also on Todd Denman and Bill Dennehy's album "Like Magic." Makes a nice set (musically and thematically) with "The Butcher's March"!

The Pork Set

Or... put it with "The Munster Bacon"

Price of the pig?

There's a jig I know called "The Price of the Pig", very close to the Scottish tune called "The Hills of Glenorchy", but it's very different from this tune.

This is a different tune to the jig 'The Price of a Pig'

See Shooglenifty's album 'A Whisky Kiss'. We learnt a variation of the Shooglenifty jig on Colm O'Rua's Mandolin/Banjo Course at Sabhal Mor Ostaig in July 2003. I'll post this other one - it's a great tune
