Tune of the Day: Delaney's Drummers
Traditional Irish jig
The earliest appearance of this jig in print can be found under the title “The Mug of Brown Ale” in the first volume of James Kerr's Merry Melodies, published in Glasgow around 1875. The title “Delaney's Drummers” is from Francis O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland (Chicago, 1907).
