Tune of the Day: The Glens of Mayo

Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903.

You probably know that a glen is a narrow valley, but maybe not that the Mayo of the title has nothing to do with the creamy sauce! Rather, it is the name of a large county in the West of Ireland.
