Galopede as i remember it is in4/4,
to me that is as inappropriate as playing the siege of ennis to jigs
Merrily kiss the quaker is supposed to be a slide , although i think it works better played slower as a jig, and i do not like 32 bar jigs played as 48 when there are plenty of good 48bar jigs, it is desperation stuff, to do that to 32bar jigs.
