Can anyone tell me when "Hurry the Jug" was originally written? I was planning on using "Lanigan's Ball" as the air to a folk song that was written in 1782. Only problem is..."Lanigan's Ball" wasn't written until much later. Nevertheless, it seems that "Lanigan's Ball" is based on the traditional Irish Set Dance/Jig, "Hurry the Jug." So, maybe I can use it after all?
