Between the Jigs and the Reels
An eclectic mix of the eclectic
Sendetermin 21.11.2014 18:00 bis 19:00Radio Helsinki is 'studio moving' and as a tribute to my first almost 10 months behind the mic in Griesgasse 8, tonight's Between the Jigs and the Reels, part 1 of 2, plays a selection of music from the 'archives'. To put it all in context, we'll start with a Jig and end with a Reel. The real deal.

“ 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!
