Two Jigs that are often played together. I learned them from the first Kitty Hayes CD where she named them "Cooley's Jigs". I play them on the English Concertina, in this case a metal ended Aeola Wheatstone from 1924.

  • Good stuff. Nice sounding machine. I was wondering if you deliberately bounce the concertina on your tapping knee to get an effect or not? I would tend to use right hand for stoking and right knee for tapping so the concertina is on the left knee.

  • Yes it was deliberately. But I a finding it a little over the top now. So these days I am tapping with my toes and much less with my heel (which gives the bouncing effect).

  • how much does an average one of these cost one?

  • MAGIC STUFF! This really helps me to carry on with the EC. What great drive you gave that jig. Thank you! john

  • Getting a good rhythm with the English is hard. I'm still not at all happy with my own but sometimes it clicks better than others. I'll try the knee...

  • Awesome!

  • very punchy and crispy! I'm learning the second one for the moment...a lot to learn still.

    keep on posting all those beautiful stuff of yours!

    Up EC! (lol)

  • Tres bien! c'est parfait!
