Cat In The Corner, The

Slide · 12/8 · G major

The Cat in the Corner is a traditional Irish slide set in the key of G major. Played in a lively 12/8 meter, it features the bouncy, flowing rhythm characteristic of the slide tradition, which is well-suited for accompanying set dancing in the Sliabh Luachra region and beyond. Because its precise composer and historical origins are not documented, musicians treat it as an anonymous traditional folk tune passed down through generations of oral transmission.
