This jig is also known as Bill Collin’s jig or Dan Collin’s Father’s jig but simply Collin’s jig to me (saves the politics!) It was originally written in the key of D major but I have transcribed the music in the key of G major. I play the tune in a set with The Killavil jig and The Pipe on The Hob.
