Flanagan Brothers jig
This is a great 4 part jig which I first heard from a recording by guitarist Tony McMahon. When researching the written source of the music I found this version from the playing of banjoist Enda Scahill. This version is named ‘The Champion’ and can be found in Enda’s ‘Irish Banjo Tutor Volume 2’
