I recently got my mandolin and enjoy playing Irish tunes on it. I recently came across this video: I learned all three jigs. I know that the third tune is the "Haunted House" aka "Old Leitrim Jig." Does anyone else recognize the first 2 tunes?
This is the video
Sorry I have no idea what those tunes are called but Im sure if you ask at the Session.org they will be able to help
I learnt the first tune as "Sonny Brogan's Jig" but on the Foinn Seisuín 2 CD it goes by "Lad O'Beirne's Jig" I know the second tune but the name escapes me at the moment, sorry...
Thanks Jill, Now for that middle tune! pesky jig. My future father in-law recognizes it, but can not remember where he has heard it. he has over 1000 Irish tunes in several books. He thinks he might have played it once out of the book within the past 10 years. gees, good grief. http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/lad_o_beirnes/ here is tune #1 of 3
if you use "search " with session.org and type the first 3 or 4 abc's , or more if you have, you get all the tunes which come into consideration.
