Back to Plymouth Lasses
PLYMOUTH LASSES. AKA and see "Girls of Banbridge (The)," "Gwynt y Glan," "Sylph (The)." English, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Plymouth Lasses" was a popular English jig, although it was called "The Sylph" (or variant spellings) or "The Self" in 19th century musicians' manuscript collections. The "Plymouth Lasses" title seems to have come in with Peter Kennedy's 1951 collection, although where he obtained the name is not known. O'Neill printed the tune as "Girls of Banbridge (The)", with the parts reversed.
