April's Fool

Jig · 6/8 · G major

April's Fool is a traditional-style jig composed by the renowned button accordion player Jimmy Keane. Written in the key of G major with a standard 6/8 meter, the tune is characterized by a lively, playful melody that is well-suited to driving, dynamic session playing. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition for modern traditional tunes are often undocumented, its broader folklore remains limited while its musical identity within contemporary Irish repertoire is firmly established.
