about

Bundle and Go / Henchy’s Delight / The Two-Penny Jig

Danny: We begin with a Scottish version of the Donegal jig Bundle and Go, which Conor sourced from Josef Haydn. We follow with Henchy's Favourite, which I learned from a 78 rpm recording of the Ballinakill Ceilí Band. The third tune is the Two-Penny, Jig which was collected by George Petrie from the blind Galway piper Paddy Conneely in the mid-1800s.

Conor: The first jig is well-known in the Irish tradition but I learned this version from Josef Haydn's arrangement of the Scottish song 'The Wee Wee Man'. The final tune was learned from George Petrie's manuscripts and echoes the melodic shape of a number of better known jigs today.
