from Compositions by Jack Talty
I composed this slip jig for my good friend, Saileog Ní Cheannabháin. The title comes from a nickname given to Saileog by her brother Eoghan. I wrote the tune to accompany, Racha Do Dheaide Go Sydeney, a song melody learned from Saileog that I subsequently recorded on In Flow, in 2016. The tune is presented here in the key of A major but I frequently play it in the key of F major.
