'''COLEFORD JIG, THE'''.  English, Hornpipe or reel (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Despite the word 'jig' in the title (which refers to solo dancing rather than the 6/8 time tune form), the tune (perhaps a hornpipe) is a duple-time vehicle, perhaps used for step dancing in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, mining town of Coleford, not far from the border with Wales. Some similarities to "[[Honeysuckle (2) (The)]]/[[Honeysuckle Hornpipe]]", a tune that Phillip Heath-Coleman [http://www.mustrad.org.uk/articles/waifs.htm] believes is "a close relation...the first halves of the 2nd strains are almost identical," while several bars of the first strain also are similar.

COLEFORD JIG, THE. English, Hornpipe or reel (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Despite the word 'jig' in the title (which refers to solo dancing rather than the 6/8 time tune form), the tune (perhaps a hornpipe) is a duple-time vehicle, perhaps used for step dancing in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, mining town of Coleford, not far from the border with Wales. Some similarities to "Honeysuckle (2) (The)/Honeysuckle Hornpipe", a tune that Phillip Heath-Coleman [1] believes is "a close relation...the first halves of the 2nd strains are almost identical," while several bars of the first strain also are similar.
