"Kesh Jig" is also known as "The Castle Jig", "Kerrigan's Jig", "Kerrigan's Fancy",<br> "Kincora Jig" and "Tear the Callies" is an Irish double jig in 6/8 time G Major.<br> The parts are played AABB (most versions) or AA'BB' (Miller & Perron).<br> The first printed version appears to be in George Petrie's 1850's<br> collection under the title "Tear the Callies".<br> It is very popular in Irish sessions since it was popularized under the "Kesh" title by the<br> Bothy Band.<br> It was printed sources in Brody's Fiddler's Fake Book (1983),<br> Johnson's The Kitchen Musician No. 6: Jigs (1982),<br> Mac Amhlaoibh & Durham's An Pota Stóir: Ceol Seite Corca Duibne/The Set Dance Music of West<br> Kerry (appears as "Port Pat Coclain"),<br> Mallinson's 100 Essential (1995),<br> Miller & Perron's Irish Traditional Fiddle Music, 2nd Edition (2006),<br> Reiner's Anthology of Fiddle Styles (1979),<br> Songer's Portland Collection (1997) and<br> Tubridy's Irish Traditional Music, vol. 1 (1999).<br> It was recorded by<br> The Bothy Band on The Bothy Band (1975)<br> The Bothy Band on Afterhours,<br> The Boys of the Lough on Live at Passim (appears as "Kincora Jig"),<br> Frank Ferrel and Graham Townsend on Fiddle Tunes and<br> Sean McGuire on Ireland's Champion Traditional Fiddler.<br> I learned it from some Irish group but I can't remember which one.<br>
