The Runaway Jig ... -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ As one can see from the Irish tune index on my website (which started as a project of trying to find out which tunes in Scots collections were Irish) there are also lots of Irish tunes well known in Scotland. The late Breandan Breathnach in 'Folk Music and Dances of Ireland' noted that 'many of our great reels are undoubtably Scottish', and lists several by both Scots and Irish titles. Oswald's 'Caledonian Pocket Companion' book 10, has a tune called Barley Cakes, this is an English title, c 1735. (The usual Scots Barley Cakes is the English Barley Sugar.) It's better known by the later titles Behind the Bush in the Garden/ How can we abstain from Whiskey/ Wha'll be king but Charlie. Johnny McGill/The Black Rogue is called Blarney Castle in the London dance production, 'The Irish Fair', 1772, and it retained that name in some later collections (e.g., 'Riley's Flute Melodies', 1814). Old Langolee and The Star (in bk 3 of Walsh's 'Caledonian Country Dances', also called the Scheme and even 'The Irish Lilt), have also been found under the Johnny McGill title. Which, if any, were composed by Johnny McGill, town piper of Girvan? None would be my guess.
