The Curragh Jig

A cute single jig by Paddy O'Brien. This tune is gaining popularity in my local session. If you can't remember how it starts, think of the 1st bar of the Jig Of Slurs. And try not to think of the rest of the tune :-)

"The Curragh Jig" ~ Paddy O'Brien

The transcription given here is identical to the printed book previously mentioned. I used to play this differently, having learned it from the source ages back, but I'm sure my memory is working on it too, and my own quirky ways with it are slipping through...anyway...a few other possibilities on offer...
