Mrs Jamieson's Favorite

Aly Bain does a nice version of this tune on his album Lonely Bird.

Mrs Jamieson's Favourite

There's also a version of this jig in the album Legacy of the Scottish fiddle, by Alasdair Fraser & Paul Machlis, but played as a slow air, absolutely breathtaking. Can't miss it.

Nice Aire

I would call this a slow air, have never heard it played at jig tempo. But since this site has no aire category, this is as good a place as any to put it. I learned it in G for some reason, maybe it was listed in a book that way, or maybe I changed the key so I could use the bass notes and chords on my accordion better as I played it.

Yeah, i think its an aire. I also heard it on John Taylors After the Dance CD as a slow aire.

Slow Air in G

A beautiful air, but as a whistler this works best for me in G (so that the top note isn't shrill and can be held with confidence!).

A new arrangement

This tune popped into my head when teaching at a feis, i quickly arranged it for a pupil to play at the Mod, couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called but thanks to a few friends and whistling out the tune to many people the mystery was solved! I play it as a slow air and i now have the dots written out arranged in Gmaj for Harp so if anyone would like it, contact me ;) You gotta love the slow airs!!
