Back to Irish Billy

IRISH BILLY. AKA and see "Irish Footman (The)," "Jig Naboelish," "Naboclish." Scotch, Jig. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The jig seems to have acquired some Irish associations, but is printed in Scottish publications. James Oswald printed it in 1760 as "Irish Footman (The)." Aird's title is perhaps a reference to King William of Orange. The tune was entered into the c. 1794 music manuscript copybook of New York flute player Micah Hawkins.
