Irish Dancers! Does anyone know the name of that pretty slip jig that is only a harp?

I'm not sure of the name but my teacher uses it all the time and he's not sure of the name.





I'm not quite sure how to describe it- the only thing I can really tell you is that it's only a harp playing, and that it's, as my friend says, "very light and tinkly" :P

Not enough information. I play Irish harp, and I play numerous slip jigs. Some of the more common slip jigs are "The Butterfly", "The Foxhunter's Jig", "A Fig for a Kiss", "Drops of Brandy" and "The Snowy Path"; I wouldn't be surprised if your teacher's recording is one of those, just because they're commonly performed tunes. Those are all in my harp repertoire. But without hearing the tune, I couldn't name it.


Do you have any Irish musicians in your community? Your best bet is to ask one of them to listen to your teacher's recording, and I expect he or she will be able to identify it immediately.
Reply:Try posting your question at www.diddlyi.com - it is a forum for Irish Dancers and Musicians. I think I have heard the tune you are talking about, but only once and don't know anything about it. Good Luck!
