Not really a jig
Breton tune which should be played at 100 or slightly less.
Got it off Tamalin - Rhythm 'n' Rhyme, as played by Paul McSherry

Composer?

Composer
After further research I found that this is a recent composition; I thought it was a traditional air!
I'll try to find contact details of the composer and ask him is it ok to keep the tune listed here.
The composer's name is Donatien Laurent and the translation is "The Rocks of Beg An Treiz".
It's basically a 6/8 march rather than a jig, which is why it should be played slowly and quite straight, i.e. with a lot less triplets than I included.
Kerreg is similar to the Irish word "Carraig" which also means rock.
Thanks for asking, Ceolachán.

An honest man, and a scholar...

Donatien Laurent has done a lot for Breton Culture through his research. The whole title means: The rocks at the end of the beach. Great tune by the way.

Beg an treis était une école de cornemuse crée le 7 avril 1961 par Herri Leon, instituteur à Porspoder et joueur de cornemuse, et qui regroupait les rares joueurs de cornemuse écossaise. Son but était d'assurer la continuité de la tradition musicale bretonne. L'air a été composé par Donatien Laurent, membre de cette école. Malheureusement Herri Leon décedera accidentellement à 29 ans.
Grace à lui et bien d'autres musicien la musique bretonne était sauvée
Alain Nizou, natif de Porspoder
