Fox hunters jig
Hello, another newcomer and another fiddle bowing question I'm afraid. Would anyone mind suggesting some bowing for fox hunters to get me started. I'm single bowing the whole tune at the moment and can't seem to pick up what the others are doing in the session. thanks

"Nothing to do with the reel of the same name (as far as I know).
The 3rd part is exactly the same as the 1st, but with double the frequency for each note.
The 2nd & 4th parts seem to do a nice E-minory thing with the c-naturals, which I quite like."

And finally, the words
Nead na lachan sa mhúta (3x)

Curfá:
Haigh dà didil dà didil dÃ

haigh dà didil dà déro
Bhéarfaidh mé curach is criú dhuit (3x)
's cuirfidh mé amach ar an guan tú
Ceannóidh mé slat is dorú dhuit (3x)
's cuirfidh mé amach ar an guan tú
Cuardóidh mé bean agus spré dhuit (3x)
's déanfaidh sà steampaà 'gus tae dhuit.
