Ballygar Hermitage, The

Jig · 6/8 · G dorian

The Ballygar Hermitage is a traditional 6/8 jig composed by the fiddler and button accordion player Joe Kelly, who was a prominent member of the Leitrim Céilí Band. Written in G dorian, the tune features an engaging and lively rhythmic drive characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Irish dance music. Because Kelly spent decades playing in the vibrant traditional music scene of Dublin and his native county, his compositions reflect the dynamic ensemble style of the classic céilí band era.
