Tune of the Day: Clancy's Frolics
Traditional Irish jig
This jig appear to be unique to Chicago Police Captain Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection The Dance Music of Ireland, published in 1907. However, the first strain bears some resemblance to another tune known as “The Devil in Ireland”, which is first found in the 1823–26 manuscript collection of English fiddler Joshua Gibbons.
