Last Night's Fun

Slip jig · 9/8 · D dorian

Last Night's Fun is a traditional Irish slip jig in 9/8 meter, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown due to oral transmission. The tune is characterized by a lively tempo, a distinctive skipping rhythm, and a modal D Dorian flavor that challenges players with its continuous phrasing and rolling triplet ornaments. It is a well-established standard in the traditional Irish session repertoire, frequently played in tight synchronization by melody instruments like the fiddle, flute, and accordion.
