Tune of the Day: The Flowers of Dungarvan
Traditional Irish jig
This jig appears to be unique to Francis O'Neill's collection The Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907.
Dungarvan is a coastal town and harbor in County Waterford, on the south-east coast of Ireland. It would appear that to this day the town is still renowned for its flowers: in 2018, it achieved a much-coveted silver medal in the Entente Florale Europe competition, organized by the European Association for Flowers and Landscape.
