Between the Jigs and the Reels
A nod to David Bowie
Sendetermin 15.01.2016 18:00 bis 19:00I didn't know him much but through his last act, he has completely inspired my playlist this week!
While still keeping to the style of music played on the programme, tunes this week have been chosen for their titles and lyrics, rather than any ' Bowie' type sound :
Nature Boy (David Bowie); Let it Roll ( Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club); All of You (Cathy Davey); Dear Unknown + I'm afraid They've Won (Maneki Nekoc); Ryan's Air/Beoga on Ice + Another Journey (Beoga); In Search of Manannan + Iree na Greiney
(Barrule); Blackstar (David Bowie).
Make of them what you will.. and join me for some musing

“ Between the Jigs and the Reels” – what’s in a name?!
“ Between the jigs and the reels” is an expression in Irish-English to mean “ between one thing and another”.
However and also importantly - in Irish traditional music a ‘jig’ and a ‘reel’ are two types of dances. A jig has three beats in a bar. A reel has four beats in a bar.
Irish culture tip no.1 – the first of many!
