The Short Grass jig

I learnt this tune off Harmony Hill a while ago, but didn’t have a name for it until I asked someone who played it in a session last night.

Looks like that might be another name for it.

nice to be able to practice a tune in C major

I believe this is a cousin of The Kinnegad Slashers: https://thesession.org/tunes/1258 Or are they basically one and the same tune?

The a part of this tune is like a variation of the third part of ‘the slashers’, although it’s in a different key. The B-part of this tune is it’s own thing altogether. I think these two tunes are a little bit too different to be considered variations on the same tune.

I’ve just remembered there is another tune similar to this one. The Rooms of Dooagh: https://thesession.org/tunes/2277

I just learned this tune from a friend. I’m sure I already heard it. I tried to find a version on the Internet via Tune Pal and it seams to be Nowhere.

This is The Short Grass, which is usually played in C. https://thesession.org/tunes/3058

I agree that the Harmony Hill version is great.
Another possible relative is a Scottish jig called Miss Rae of Eskgrove played by Jimmy Shand. Listening to it reminded me of this tune, and in the same key as on Harmony Hill.
