CAPE NORTH JIG. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Cape Breton. G Dorian (Dunlay & Greenberg/Fitzgerald): A Dorian (Dougie MacDonald). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'.

Cape North is at the extreme north of Cape Breton Island, jutting into the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Source for notated version: Winston Fitzgerald (Cape Breton) [Dunlay & Greenberg].

Printed sources: Dunlay & Greenberg (Traditional Celtic Violin Music from Cape Breton), 1996; p. 119.
