Name this tune!
Hi all,
I keep hearing this tune which is played as incidental background music on my local public radio station. I was wondering if anyone could I.D. it? I don't know if it's trad or modern, or even irish, but it definitely has that flavor. It's a fiddle recording. This is how I would play it on a D whistle. But the original may be in a different key. I have a sort of malleable sense of key. Anyway, here it is:
mystery jig

Thanks
James

Aw - Let's give it a last name too,
How about:
Mardie Gras?
But actually, I guess we should stick to it's real (reel? - oh yeah, it's a slip jig, sorry) name. "A Fig for a Kiss" is a great tune.
I find it one of the easiest 'Slips'. They generally tend to give me a headache.
Also, try playing it slow and 'hauntingly' on a Low whistle, a suggestion I got from Tygress awhile back when I asked about haunting tunes for Halloween.
Different, but way-cool! And spooky
