Another A major jig!

Yes another one, but it’s a great one too

Peter Tickell taught me it and I think he said it was a traditional Asturian tune.

Who plays it in G major? Why have you just copied and pasted my abc into a transposition abc software with no explanation?

“Who plays it in G major?”

Probably JackB, being an uillean piper.

…that should have read ‘uilleann’ …just in case JackB thought I was accusing him of playing the wrong sort of pipes.

G

I think the second setting sounds much more Galician in Straight G

Re: Muñeira D’Antón

This is indeed a traditional Asturian tune, from the county of Degaña. Folk in Asturias learnt it from a piper and flute player called Antón de Fonduveigas, that’s probably where the name comes from.
