Lads Of Leith

Jig · 6/8 · G minor

Lads of Leith is a traditional 6/8 jig in the key of G minor with an uncertain specific origin beyond its Scottish geographical association in the title. The tune features a lively and rhythmic character well-suited for spirited dancing and traditional instrumental performance. Because detailed historical records and composer attributions for the piece are not reliably established, musicians focus on its classic pentatonic and modal melodic contours when playing it.
