South West, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

The South West is a traditional Irish slide set in the key of D major. Because its composer and specific geographic origin are not historically recorded, the tune is best known through modern traditional session playing. As a 12/8 slide, it features the bouncy, flowing rhythm and energetic character typical of the slip jig and slide repertoire native to Sliabh Luachra.
