Tune of the Day: The Blooming Meadows

Traditional Irish jig

The earliest known appearance of this tune is in the American collection Howe's 1000 Jigs and Reels, published in Boston around 1867.

Charlie Piggott, in the essay on Kilmaley, County Clare, fiddler, flute player and uilleann piper Peader O'Loughlin in his book Blooming Meadows (1998), remarks on tunes being disseminated into local, isolated traditions in Ireland by visiting musicians. Such was the case for “Blooming Meadows”, which was introduced into the Kilmaley-Connolly area by traveling piper Jerry O'Shea many generations ago.
