Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Gan Ainm is a traditional Irish polka in 2/4 meter and D major, with its exact origin and composer remaining unknown since the title itself translates from Irish as without a name. The tune is typically played with a lively, bouncy character that suits traditional dance settings and informal pub sessions. Because it lacks a specific historical association or definitive early publication record, musicians rely on its enduring structural simplicity to shape their own regional interpretations.
