Old Flail, The

Jig · 6/8 · G major

The Old Flail is a 6/8 jig in G major composed by the well-known Irish flute player and tune writer Vincent Broderick. Because detailed historical associations and the exact date of composition are not widely documented, the tune is best defined by its lively melodic character and quintessentially traditional style. Played with the energetic bounce typical of a standard Irish jig, it remains a vibrant addition to contemporary traditional music repertoires.
