Have had a trawl through the past lists and could not see this jig listed - though it may well have been as it is a great wee tune. Here is my version, as a change from my recent pipe tunes and prompted by Jill's recent postings, played on bouzouki and tenor banjo. With those instruments it might well go to the tenor banjo or the octave mandolin groups, but I'm posting it here:
Lovely tune, John. Sounds great!
great stuff John! Your banjo sounds great!
Thanks for the great tune and relaxing video, John. Very enjoyable.
like Jill says John, great stuff, one of my favourite jigs, it was the first tune i was taught by Belfast banjo player Gerry McCartney.
Nice one Lawrence - surprised more folk haven't had a go at this one - speaking of which, I must try to get a clip of it recorded when I get a spare moment!

Nice one, gortnamona! I am curious about that instrument you are playing - who's the maker? Jill, looking forward to your version when you get round to doing a recording of it.
hi John it was made by Andy Tobin http://www.tobininstruments.co.uk/mandolins.html
This is one I have been meaning to learn for a long time. Music from the bbc virtual session and played on a Savannah.
Thanks for posting this one up John a great rolling tune, great versions by all:
Another great tune John, will have a bash at it. Great versions here and Harry, glad to see that Weber get an airing.....
Aye, your Gallatin is sounding particularly lovely Harry, and of course nicely played by yourself as well!
Humors of Glendart from O'Neill's followed by Jackson's Morning Brush from Edward Bunting's 1840 collection.
through a trade offer in a local buy & sell site, i swapped my capek mandolin for a joe foley bouzouki, what a great instrument but now i have it , i'm not really sure what to do with it, at 261/2 scale length its impossible for me to play tunes on and even if i did know any chords, which i don't, i wouldnt know what to do with them, so just messing about with a capo at the minute, for some reason i seem to be able to relax a bit more with the longer scale length
Hi G, you are making good progress there with a new and much longer-scaled instrument! Can I offer you one or two suggestions? Get the pinky into action and try to use guitar fingering - one finger per fret - rather than mandolin where we tend to cover two frets per finger. As for chords, if you are tuned DGAE then the chords you played on your mando are usable on the big box, especially the two-finger chords which give you ringing open strings and which suit the bouzouki well with its great sustain. Don't overdo the stretching at first when you are playing; let your fingers learn to open out and keep the pinky working.
sound advice John, sorry i didnt get back to you at the time, i didnt keep the foley long. again on the pono octave, still one of my favourites this
gortnamona, that's awesome! I love it!
Rocking the house, Lawrence
Nice one Lawrence - now I'm coveting a Pono octave!
Missed this one Lawrence. Lovely playing and a great instrument.
It's almost painful to listen to my slow version from 4 years ago. Here's my current version after 4 years of practice.
Fine playing and such a clean picking style. You handle that tune very comfortably here, and four years is not that long a time!
Dustyamps, sounds really good!
sounded great to me Dusty, i enjoyed playing along with it
