An Irish double jig. Coleraine is a town in northern Ireland. The tune has
long been a staple of New England contra dances, popularized by hammered dulcimer
player Bill Spence and his band Fennig’s All Stars. The earliest printing appears
to be in Kerr’s Merry Melodies (c. 1886).
It has been recorded by Claddagh, De Dannan and Fennig’s All Stars. I learned it from Bill Spence and Fennig’s All Stars. |
