Tune of the Day: Felix the Wrestler

Traditional Irish jig

The earliest printing of this jig is in R.M. Levey's Dance Music of Ireland (1872), as an untitled jig. The title “Felix the Wrestler” is found in Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland (Chicago, 1903).

Scottish Great Highland Bagpiper G.S. McLennan picked up the tune while stationed in Ireland, although he called it “Biddy from Sligo”.
