fun slip jig recomendations?

Post by chris_coreline »

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 :P

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'? :P

It all depends on how slippery things get.
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.

... 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.

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.org
