HELVIC HEAD. AKA - "Helvic Grove." AKA and see "Melvin Head," "Walk Out of It Hogan." Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD (O'Farrell): AABBCCDDEE (Kennedy). Helvic Head (Ceann Heilbhic) is a promontory stretching out from the coastline of County Waterford. O'Neill prints the tune under the corrupt title "Melvin Head." Some similarities to the slip jig "Yellow Stockings."
