Ferry, The

Jig · 6/8 · A major

The Ferry is a traditional Irish jig set in 6/8 meter and A major, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain uncertain. Characterized by its lively lilt and rhythmic drive, the tune is well suited to the fluid, melodic style typical of traditional fiddle and flute playing. Because historical records for the tune are scarce, players focus on its engaging phrasing and standard session repertoire appeal rather than any specific historical association.
