I also learned this four-part jig from Patrick Ourceau, who learned it from the flute playing of Jack Coen of Co. Galway. ‘Gallant Tipperary’ was a very popular melody in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was used by Thomas Moore as the air for his song, ‘The Young May Moon’, and appears in a number of written sources, including the O’Neill and Roche collections.
