In honor of St. Patrick’s Day this week we are learning a traditional Irish folk tune called “The Kesh Jig.” (Also known as The Castle, Kerrigan’s, The Kesh Mountain, The Kincora, or The Mountaineers’ March.) This is a really fun, upbeat, and easy-to-learn tune that would be great to play at your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations this Thursday.
