fun slip jig recomendations?
i recently managed to learn 'the butterlfy' which is my first slip jig. I really like the compound time signature. It seems to work really well with the whistle for that überceltic misterious sound
can anyone recomend some more fun to play slips? Not necesarly sessions staples. Tunes that make you glad you can play them.
PS: RE- a previous discussion: does anyone have any corrilation figures between slip jigs and 'intrest from the fair sex'?

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

The Rocky Road To Dublin is great fun to play:

Somewhere along the way I picked up a third part to this tune which is terrific, but I don't know where to tell you to find it now

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I recently discovered Throw the Beetle at Her, aka Minor Slip which is a really nice slip jig and it's in B minor. .
It's on The Session

The Road to Lisdoonvarna is fun as well. And it can be paired with the reel of the same name nicely.

Ummm ... that's not a slip jig. Personally, I don't care whether someone calls it a 'slide' or a 'single jig', but it's definitely not a slip jig.Pyroh wrote:The Road to Lisdoonvarna is fun as well. And it can be paired with the reel of the same name nicely.

... and a slip jig, Hans. The slip jig's more common, in my experience. The reel is a three-part version of the tune which is known in O'Neill's as The Dublin Lasses (in F).

Ah, I see. And it is fun. Goes also well with all the hoppity slip jigs I mentioned above.benhall.1 wrote:... and a slip jig, Hans. The slip jig's more common, in my experience. The reel is a three-part version of the tune which is known in O'Neill's as The Dublin Lasses (in F).
One other slip jig i like playing is "An Phis Fliuch".
Maybe less a fun one and more of an interesting one, because of the C nats in the D tune. They sort of scream and give it some dark colour.
Best played probably on the pipes (which i don't play)

It's in O'Neill's Music of Ireland but, so far as I can tell, not on www.thesession.orgbrewerpaul wrote:The Rocky Road To Dublin is great fun to play:
