A good piping Jig

Probably composed by the piper William Gunn (c1788-1867) who was for a while piper to the Glasgow Gaelic Club. It was published in his ‘Caledonian Repository of Music Adapted for the Bagpipes’ (1848).

This setting appears in O’Neill’s Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, 1922, no. 143.

Also in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland (1850 melodies), # 956
