Buncrana Boy, The

Slip jig · 9/8 · A major

The slip jig The Buncrana Boy was composed by the contemporary accordion player Johnny Óg Connolly. Written in the 9/8 meter characteristic of slip jigs, the tune is set in the key of A major and features a lively, driving character suited to traditional Irish dance music. Because it is a modern composition by a known living artist, it does not carry historical associations from earlier centuries, but it has become a popular addition to contemporary session repertoires.
