- Jim Moore A1 | Handed Down
Jim Moore (1921 - 2018) Jim and I played tunes (twin fiddles) for many years at his home in Dromara each Tuesday night. He always had a great fire built up in the grate. He recorded these tunes of us both playing for himself to play along with. The vast majority of the tunes were from his repertoire that he played with a number of local fiddle players, Robbie Chambers, Sammy Thompson, Davy and Robbie Gray and Jimmy Doyle. I didn't know the most of them so the balance in volume between the two fiddles is weighed heavily towards Jim's playing. Barndances - Jimmy Doyle's Barndances Jim learnt these barndances from the playing of Jimmy Doyle, a fiddler raised in Katesbridge who relocated in Dromara to work in the Jimmie Campbell's blacksmith shop. Jimmie also played the fiddle. Jackie Donnan got the barndances from me and we played the second one regularly for the two-hand dance the Scottish Barndance at the weekly Greyabbey Village Hall. Jimmy Doyle's Barndances Jim Moore 00:00 / 03:07 Jig - Royal Charlie Jim learnt Royal Charlie from Dree fiddler Robbie Chambers. There are several variations of this tune titled Wha'll be King but Charlie , one version played by Davy Gray around Ballynahinch and another by Willie Savage around Killyleagh. The tune is Scottish in origin, and known in the Irish tradition as Behind the Bush in the Garden. Royal Charlie - Jig/Quadrille Tune Jim Moore 00:00 / 01:47 Reel - The Peeler's Jacket The Peeler's Jacket - Reel Jim Moore 00:00 / 02:05 Reel - Queen's Wedding Jim learnt Queen's Wedding from fiddler Sammy Thompson, who in turn learnt it from Jimmy Ward. It is a simpler, and most likely an older, version of the Swallow's Tail . Queen's Wedding - Reel Jim Moore 00:00 / 01:27 Jig - The Widow's Rant This is another of the many tunes Jim learnt from Sammy Thompson that came from Jimmy Ward. The Widow’s Rant was published in James Aird’s - A Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs. Vols I-VI Glasgow, 1790-97. It was published under the title the Irish Newsman in T. Dibdin’s - The Irish Newsman Sung by Mr. Dighton at Sadlers Wells with unbounded applause . Written by T. Dibdin. London, 1795. The Widow's Rant - Jig Jim Moore 00:00 / 01:51 Jig - Castle Donovan Castle Donovan - Jig Jim Moore 00:00 / 01:53 Jig - The Highland Quickstep Another of the many tunes Jim learnt from Sammy Thompson.

Jimmie named the tune after Ballela the neighbouring townland to where he was raised in Kilkinamurray. The Ballela March Jim Moore 00:00 / 01:58 Jig - Kissed Yestereen Jim learnt Kissed Yestereen from Sammy Thompson. Titled Kiss'd Yestereen this double jig was published in the Collection of Scotch Airs. Vol II and III . 1738-42, in James Oswald’s - The Caledonian Pocket Companion Book II . London, c. 1750.

Kissed Yestereen - Jig Jim Moore 00:00 / 01:20 Polka - Untitled Polka from Jimmy Ward No. 2 Jim learnt this polka from Sammy Thompson, who learnt it from Jimmy Ward.
