Gan Ainm (Tom Busby’s Jig)
January 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 pm (traditional irish flute, irish flute)
Here’s another port gan ainm. Níl port le hainm fágtha agam faoin am seo.
I seem to have run out of names of tunes to post so I’m going to have to start ganning ainms for the next while.
I learned this jig from a piper who has an ainm - Robbie Hannan - but whose ainm for this jig escapes me just now. I was never sure just how the two parts of the tune got on with each other but sometimes I can sense an uneasy peace between them.

Hi Michael-great site and love the tunes…keep’em coming. You’re this New Yorker’s only teacher right now. I believe this tune is titled Tom Busby’s Jig. I first learned of this tune from Kevin Crawford. Not sure where he learned it though.
