Scutchers, The

Reel · 4/4 · G major

The Scutchers is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and G major, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. Played with the bright energy and driving rhythm typical of the genre, it is well suited for accompanying traditional set dancing. Because of its obscure history, the tune relies entirely on its lively melodic character and standard session popularity to endure in the traditional repertoire.
