Back to Leather the Wig


LEATHER THE WIG (Plancam Peirbig). AKA and see "Bunter's Delight (The)," "Curl the Wig," "Will You Come Plank Come Plank," "Will You Come Down to Limerick?," "Whack at the Whigs (A)." Irish, English; Slip Jig. G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The may be derived from an anti-whig song, and from a country dance tune published by John Young in the Second Volume of the Dancing Master [1] in 1713, entitled "Bunter's Delight (The)." The 'Leather the Wig' title means to thresh a wig; the hairpiece symbolizing the political Whig party.
