Tune of the Day: The Rakes of Sollohod

Traditional Irish jig

This slip jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection The Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907.

Sollohod (or Solohod, or Solohead, formerly Sulcoit) is a townland in County Tipperary, Ireland, located near Limerick Junction. It was the site of a battle with the Danes in 968 AD, from which the hero Brian Boru emerged victorious.
