JB Samzun & Charles Monod - Aughavinna - Irish Traditional Music from Doolin, Co. Clare

John Williams’ Jig

This jig comes from the playing of John Williams, a great concertina and accordion player from Chicago, whose father came from Doolin. John spent a lot of time in Doolin over the years, but I learned this particular tune from a YouTube video, see below (it’s the second tune).
