Galway Tom

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Galway Tom is a traditional Irish jig played in the key of D major with a standard 6/8 meter. Because the specific composer and exact historical origins of the tune are not established, it is best known through the oral transmission of traditional Irish musicians. Like many lively jigs in the repertoire, it features a bouncy rhythm and a spirited character well suited for social dancing and informal sessions.
