How do you play The Frieze Britches?
It seems Planxty does a 5 part version, Seamus Ennis does an interesting 6 part version, and I have an old recording of Leo Rowseome playing even a 7 part version. The question I ask is, which one is most commonly played? Assuming there is a "most common" one played of course.

Planxty's 5 part version is what I play. I don't know what's commonly played either. I'm pretty much the only person that plays it at all in my neck o' the woods.

5 parts
Only ever heard 5 parts - but would be interested to hear the other one or two parts.

Sure sounded like the 1st two parts of "Frieze Britches" followed by another jig, "Will You Come Home with Me?". I wonder if O'Flynn gave them the abridged version of FB for demonstration purposes.

Which is basically a two-part version of "Frieze Britches".SteveB wrote:I think the 1st jig Liam plays in that clip is actually "I Buried My Wife an Danced on Her Grave".
