Back to Jack's Alive (1)
JACK'S ALIVE [1] (Tá Neaic Beo). English, Irish; Reel. England; Northumberland, Dorset. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. A duple-time setting of the tune often rendered as a jig (see "Jack's Alive (3)"). Trim's Thomas Hardy MS. version is very much simplified as it is in the 19th century Joseph Kershaw Manuscript. Kershaw was a fiddle player who lived in the remote area of Slackcote, Saddleworth, North West England, who compiled his manuscript from 1820 onwards, according to Jamie Knowles.
Source for notated version: fiddler and uilleann piper Stephen Grier (Farnaght, County Leitrim), who wrote down his tunes in the 1880's [Breathnach].
