I've been building out my repetoir of irish music so I can play in local sessions. I'm working on the common ones first. So far I've memorized the "Swallowtail Jig" and I'm currently working on memorizing "Morrison's Jig". Next I'll do the "Kesh Jig" because that's a favorite.
With those three jigs under my belt, I figure I ought to learn a reel next. I think it's only fitting that my first reel be "The Jolly Tinker".
Here's the song played on the Irish Flute (which I *will* pick up in a couple of years): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XlOUGwipw-M
Here it is played in a set (with two other jigs and one other reel) by one of my favorite Irish Whistle players, Cedar Dobson: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0n8IfTPI6Y8
