Thread Name: The Butterfly slip jig
Subject: RE: The Butterfly slip jig
While on the subject of Tommy Potts, recently I heard Liam O Connor play another of Potts' compositions. A slip jig (as far as I remember) called 'The Loom' said to recall the sound and movement of the weavers in the Coombe area of Dublin where Potts grew up. A strangely beautiful piece that I hadn't come across before (although I don't have the RTE Tommy Potts compilation CD so it may be on that).
