Fantastic hearing this again after all this time.

God bless YouTube and all who sail in her :)

[omega1956]

There were always plenty of chicks, so I pretended I was a fan of the New Seekers and the Jackson 5 !

[omega1956]

God this takes me back ! 1971, desperatley trying to grow my hair long. I got hold of this record and all the other progressive stuff as well, In my own time by Family, lifes along song by Jethro Tull,Strange Kinda Woman by Deep Purple, yes I was the Guy who was asked to go to parties but NOT to bring any records !

[alargedog]

@omega1956 you musta being going to the wrong partys then lol

[glutzi123]

@omega1956 OHMYGOD - you are that guy :)

[phil1958uk]

The intro sounds like, the intro, to the Z Cars, theme!

[lineswine]

erm, not to be picky, but those aren't jigs, those are reels.

[Herra176]

We lived in a three up flat in Glasgow and nearly every Saturday night everyone spilled out the pub to our flat..when this was played everyone was up jigging...and the floor was bouncing up and down...aye those were the days...the 70s...long live jig a jig....

[alargedog]

@Herra176 yea glasgow was jumping in the early 70s this song went well

[TheDon444]

Wouldn't mind a tenner for every time my mates and I knackered ourselves dancing to this in the old school discos back then. I'd be rich beyond imagination (not to mention totally f**ked ;-)) )

[walshamsupporter]

Ranks alongside Dave Swarbrick and the violinist of the now defunct Oily Rag Band from Norwich. Wish I knew her name - played like an angel.

[dylanwildlevel]

This is one I dug out of my Mum's 7" singles back in the mid-90s. It is the theme tune to my as yet unwritten and unproduced '70s cop series, 'Maguire', about a cop from Dublin who ends up in New York. Probably partnered up with a grouchy black guy. Or maybe a black woman. Like Pam Grier, or somebody.

[Sargebri]

This is the first time I've heard them. Of course, the violin player, Dave Arbus, played the violin solo on Baba O'Reily.

[medic7698]

Cool, never knew that, thanks.

[velichi1]

i like this mp3

[Ixtulu]

I had this record in the 70ies, in my hippie era - this a great song.......

[1dragonleader]

hehe cool the nature tell us something about ''mindwar games''...

love it ....

[nsumx]

How much I love this song !!!

[Doobie1975]

I've discovered this song on SIRIUS 16 The VAULT (now Deep Tracks after the SIRIUS/XM merger) and I have this song on a box set compilation album titled "Legend of a Mind: The Underground Anthology"

[sugarich1]

Is it just me or is there a guy getting severely battered by a deer halfway through this video?

[alargedog]

yea revenge of the deer lol

[peterwmullins]

I think that is a video from a show called "When animals attack". The guy rubbed deer musk on himself to get closer to the buck...worked really well!!!

[scotrelf]

Its not just you mate, either that or what I've drunk is the same as yours!

[AIRDRIE2007]

@sugarich1 Its Ok - it was his stag night!

[SkipVanLenten]

@sugarich1 That was the cam

eraman, lol!

[Ixtulu]

This album I had 30 years before - this band was not so popular in Europe - but it was a great band - I still love their sound

[soundsarama]

This song (Jig a Jig or was it East of Eden? Isn't that th beand?) got me & Gianna going mental along with those on a Friday night at Paisley tech, early 70's: Danny's Disco. Thanks, Danny. Maggi

[MarkB1ngham]

This is 'drowsy Maggie ' isn't it? Been trying to work it out on guitar , it's only white notes but I'm stumped☺

[Seppovesimies]

I like Skyclad version more.

[Ixtulu]

more than 25 years I didnt heard to this album Jig and Jig (I had it) - this was one of my favorit bands in the 70ies

Austria had a lot of hippies, smokers and longhaird freaks in the 60ies and 70ies....sex drugs and rock`n roll in the Alps was common and India and Afghanistan was not for by overland busses . unfortunatelly they didnt played in Austria...

[alargedog]

austrias a nice place love ur mountains

[walshamsupporter]

I'm a huge fan of Dave Swarbrick but this really knocks me out. Is it Eddie Jobson?

[PrZemek44]

Beeeeautie... Thanks a lot for posting. This band wasn't very popular in Poland, but I remember one amazing album we used to listen to when we were really drunk. Maybe that's why I don't remember how it was called...

Great band, amazing music!

[PrZemek44]

Got it. It was 'Mercator Projected'. Great album. Wonderful band. Cheers.

[drwinkle101]

This is the most thrilling 4 minutes of folk rock you'll ever hear. It sent shivers up my spine when I was 16, and still does.

[mush1955]

God I remember this from when I was young and handsom ( ain't young anymore...... ) after a few pints of Brains SA beer, us Welsh boys used to get up and do a jig.......I just tryed to do one but I ran out of " Nitro " spray half way through !

Thanks for this one.....remember...

[detryst]

The first record I ever bought.

Thank you.

[Doobie1975]

Great song, so glad to see it on here, I'm happy to hear that it was a Top 10 hit single in the UK

[sillyfellow123]

I bought the album on the strength of this single. Cant find it on CD though

[alargedog]

yea they put nearly all the old albums on cd now

[rebelsoulbhoy]

My memory has shot it, except when it comes to music. i have a vivid one for this song...

[anorak64]

This reached a high of No 7 in the UK singles chart (spring 1971). It mostly comprises a set of traditional Irish dance tunes - reels, to be exact. After the opening drum rolls we hear 'Jenny's Chickens', 'Drowsy Maggie'and 'The Ash Plant'. A jazz improvisation is next followed by a reprise of 'The Ash Plant' to the end fade. I wonder how purists of Irish tradtional music would have thought of it but it's a brilliant track. Well done on the video!

[alargedog]

thanks i had the album in 71 lost it long ago but the internets a great thing 4 recovering old songs

[funkyalfonso]

So did I. Saw them play at the London Roundhouse that year. One of the best gigs I ever went to.I can still remember Dave Arbus bitching about " fucking roadies getting in on the action."

[trichoone]

i have also done a video to this single but like to congratulate you on yours its a fine video .

[alargedog]

thanks i see uv got a lot of good stuff on ur acc

[patriot0112]

Great to hear this band again, at the time I was also heavily into Pink Floyd and Curved Air. Happy druggy times before I got sensible and started earning a living.

[SkopTeocratico]

Fantastic video!
