N:ceri rhys matthews wrote on The Session: "The jig dates back to around the 1850s where it appears in The Cambrian Newspaper, which periodically printed dance tunes, song words etc." This is his flute setting ("it's mainly played on flutes around these parts"); his fiddle setting takes some phrases an octave lower.
