Tune of the Day: The Humors of Castle Comer
Traditional Irish jig
This jig is first found in R.M. Levey's 2nd collection of The Dance Music of Ireland, published in London in 1873. It is closely related to the more famous “The Rakes of Kildare”.
Castlecomer is an old town in the north of County Kilkenny, Ireland, dating back to the Middle Ages. It has been associated with the coal mining industry since the 17th century.
