Bread and Butter

Another bread & butter tune, the F naturals in the first part give this tune a lift. A good jig to pair with tunes like "Petticoat Loose" or "High Part of the Road" This tune is also good to practice your Fnats on flute whistle if you don't have them down yet.

I hope you have a keyed flute.

I've heard this one played with the first F in bars 2 and 6 played as an F# - probably arising from pipers, and flute players with keyless flutes being unable to half-hole quick enough to get in the Fnatural.

It goes nicely before Tatter Jack Walsh.

I like to play this tune followed by Seamus Cooleys and then Jim Wards jigs. I'm guilty of playing those F#'s after a year of hit or miss with the F naturals. Someday when I have a keyed flute, that will change : )

An alternate version

Here's a version I got from Ayelet Hacohen in Israel. She says that Amir, a guitar and mandoline player, transcribed it following a Dubliners interpretation.
I like this version (which is not a plain transposition of the standard one in G - and does not have any difficult flute/whistle fingerings!) and find that it sits nicely after "Dusty Windowsills" in Ador.

O'Neill's Version

I just noticed that in O'Neill's Music Of Ireland Tune 1042, the F's are all sharps - no naturals at all. Anybody know anything abut when they came in? Or did he get it wrong?

I've only just realized this is a direct rip-off from Natalie's site, note for note, not a wise or considerate move...

"Northside Kitchen" ~ a collision between two jigs

~ because the second part is different the above entry remains...

It seems that the 'rip-off' of this chimera jig, which I recognize as a collision between two jigs, but haven't managed to find the B-part yet, is an exact copy, including variations, of a transcription by Paul Cranford as given here ~
