This is a very jolly little jig. It's got a lovely lilting rhythm to it. It's almost impossible not to tap your foot along with this one.

There's one unusual thing about this tune: there isn't a G note to found in it. This little piece of information could be useful to remember when you're trying to memorise the tune.

The Humours of Glendart

I've been noticing any number of different interpretations of the "basic melody" on this one. Might as well catalogue them here.

Some folks drop all the way to D in bars 1 and 3 of the A part:

BAF AFD|FEF DFA|BAF AFD|FEE E2 A|
BAF AFD|FEF DFA|dcB AFE|FDD D2 A:||

But some people hang on the E:

BAF AFE|FEF DFA|BAF AFE|FEE E2 A|
BAF AFE|FEF DFA|dcB AFE|FDD D2 A:||

Common differences in the B part are relatively minor.

Fluters like to roll the As in bars 2 and 6:

def d2 B|~A3 AFA|def d2 f|ede fdB|
def d2 B|~A3 ABc|dcB AFE|FDD D2 A:||

Fiddlers tend to fill in with various intervals:

def d2 B|ABA ABc|....
or
def d2 B|AFA ABc|
or
def d2 B|ABA AFA|

In bar 3 of the B part, |def def| is a common twist.

this tune is listed in the Northern Fiddler under Johnny Doherty as "Darby Gallagher's"

It is also called "The Bohola Jig" on Bohola's 3rd album it is the second tune in track 7.

Make that track 8.

A nice jig indeed. But it's not on Bohola's third album. The Bohola Jig is slightly different: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2111
