Bold John O'Leary

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Bold John O'Leary is a traditional Irish jig set in six-eight meter and the key of D major. Because its exact historical origins and composer are not definitively recorded, it remains part of the anonymous traditional repertoire passed down through generations of musicians. The tune is typically played with a lively and rhythmic style characteristic of traditional dance music, making it well suited for both social dancing and instrumental performance.
