<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''BELFAST JIG [1].''' Canadian, Jig. Canada, PEI. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. The name Belfast means 'crossing place by a sandbank'. The tune was one of the first sides recorded by 'Down-East' style Canadian fiddler Don Messer with his group the Islanders, for Apex Records in 1942. Ken Perlman believes the tune may have been named for Belfast, a district of Prince Edward Island, not far from where his source (Elliot Wright) was born and raised. <br> <br> ''Source for notated version'': Elliot Wright (b. 1935, Flat River, Queens County, Prince Edward Island; now resident of North River) [Perlman]. <br> <br> ''Printed sources:'' Perlman ('''The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island'''), 1996; p. 134.
