This is a well-known four-part jig, well played among the many pipers we have in the tradition nowadays. It was introduced during the late 1960s through the playing of Willie Clancy, who sometimes referred to it as ‘The Hurler’s March’. Many of the old jigs were originally walking marches from the old days of the píob mhór (the big pipes).
