This jig is taken from O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipe, first published around 1805. Helvick Head (Ceann Heilbhic in Irish) is a promontory stretching out from the coastline of County Waterford. The tune was printed in O'Neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922) under the corrupt title “Melvin Head”.
