You'll find this in a set with the Hole in the Hedge on Martin Hayes's cd Under the Moon. Nice easy jigs, well-suited for beginners but fun for anyone to play. Also a good lesson in not over ornamenting a melody....

This is Joe Cooley's Delight, or the Bohola jig, in G instead of D. Huh!

Don't blame Will but Martin Hayes: he often records many tunes in weird keys.

Re: seamus cooley's

Tulla Ceili Band used to pair this with House in the Glen, or with Hole in the Hedge and the Kerfunteun.

Also goes well with Out on the Ocean, Geese in the Bog, or Joe Derrane's.

Re: seamus cooley's

We play it with Hole In The Hedge as well.

Re: seamus cooley's

Noel Hill and Tony Linnane play it after the Morning Lark which makes for a nice pair.
