This jig setting seems to predate the reel of the same name that has been quite popular in Ireland, at least in printed collections. All versions of this “Wild Irishman” appear to have developed from a melody printed by London music publisher Henry Playford in 1688, titled “Fourpence Ha'penny Farthing.”
