August Bank Holiday, The
The jig known as The August Bank Holiday was composed by the renowned mid-century player and tune-maker Paddy O'Brien. Written in 6/8 meter and set in the E dorian mode, the tune exhibits the characteristic lift and melodic inventiveness associated with traditional Irish composition. It is frequently performed in session settings by musicians who favor a lively, articulate style to bring out its distinctive phrasing.
