FLITCH OF BACON, THE (An Taob Muic-Feoil). Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Sean Maguire and Josephine Keegan printed the jig under the title "Callanaugh Lasses (The)." A 'flitch' is a side of unsliced bacon.

Source for notated version: "Fielding" [O'Neill]. Chicago cleric Father James K. Fielding was originally from Mooncoin, County Kilkenny, born in the mid-1860's. He played the flute and was an enthusiastic supporter of Irish traditional music and customs in the city.
