BUTCHER ROW. English, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDetc. The melody appears in London publisher John Walsh's Third Collection (1730) of (as a period advertisement gives) "The Most Celebrated Jiggs, Lancashire Hornpipes, Scotch and Highland Lilts, Northern Frisks, Morris's and Cheshire Rounds". Walsh was one of the leading music publishers of his era, although whether he took any active role in the selection of the music contained is unknown. He issued two earlier volumes of his series of "Jiggs", although neither seem to have survived.
Butcher Row is a location in London near the Temple Bar, the site of a meat market.
