Tune of the Day: The MacMurrough
Traditional Irish/Scottish jig
This jig, probably of Scottish origin, is printed twice in Harding's All-Round Collection of Jigs, Reels and Country Dances (1905): once as “The MacMurrough”, and once as “His Dudeen” (a dudeen being a short-stemmed Irish pipe made out of clay).
