GUEST recognise this Sally Sloane jig? (25) RE: recognise this Sally Sloane jig? 26 Jun 16


I should add some context for my interest in this jig.
Sally Sloane was born in the 1890's and lived all her life in country NSW. She picked up her songs and tunes by ear from her Irish grandmother and itinerant workers in the area during the early 20th century. She had a very good ear for recalling and playing this music when she was recorded in her sixties by John Meredith.

When I heard this jig and couldn't find a match in my usual traditional tune sources I began to wonder where it might have originated. And I'm still wondering!
