There must always B a plan B!! - My planned live programme from the Fleadh Cheoil in Sligo has been foiled! As a precursor to a programme full of interviews and recorded music sessions from this festival in two weeks, today's Between the Jigs and the Reels uses a repeat programme, while I am away in Ireland, to capture your imagination for what is to come in two weeks time! To learn all about the Fleadh Cheoil- (the biggest Irish traditional music festival in Ireland (and the world) click on www.fleadhcheoil.ie

“ 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!
