This jig happened to come one evening some years ago, when I was sitting at home, playing on my banjo, when a fly was teasing me so much.

Nice! Very fun!
It must have been an Irish Fly. Definite ITM feel to this tune and great melody. Well done!
Cheers

The sound quality is not too good, but I encourage anyone to watch the whole video from start to finish, to get the atmosphere!
(NB: The fly (fr. 7‘00“ til 8’15” and at 10‘40" ) and other ’juggling’ devices in evidence here are traditional to this type of Turkic musicianship)
