It's quite surprising this mighty little tune was not posted here yet. Thank you for posting it, for I've forgotten to learn it properly for ages. Solas recorded it as Sonny Brogan's if my memory is correct, but I personally perfer Dervish's lively playing of the tune.

Bill Hart's Jig

One of the great old jigs. Easy to learn and a grand session tune.

Must have some Clare connection as I remember Robbie McMahon (Spancil Hill) teaching a group of European students on a visit to Ennis how to lilt it - and very effectively too !!

I learned this tune from Dan Beimborn who knows it as "Jim Beehan's" so I've added that as an alias.
