Pay the Reckoning
Thanks Nobu; this is one of those great jigs which always gives the session a bit of a lift. We normally play it after Queen of the Fair and folow it with the Carraroe Jig.
Pay the Reckoning
Lovely tune. I’ve heard it played after East of Glendart and Brian O’Lynn (in that order).

Derived from a popular and widespread jig called "The Campbells Are Coming" published in, e.g., Aird’s First Selection (Glasgow 1782).
Here’s the A part from Kerr’s Merry Melodies for comparison:

Here’s an interesting video of a young Martin Hayes playing this on … Tenor Banjo. He makes a nice job of it too! Starts at 5:27.
