Céilí dancers react well to this one, which was often played at dances in the Mansion House in Dublin during the 1960s. I learned it from a tape recording of an RTÉ television programme known as ‘Beirt Eile’. It was the first television show of Irish traditional music back in 1963-64. Many guest céilí bands were featured at the time, which enabled me to learn this jig.
