about

The Stick Across the Hob/Kerrigan's Jig - Traditional

These jigs are known to session musicians today as "Morrison’s" and the "Kesh" respectively due, in large part, to their inclusion on several recordings of the 1970’s which heralded a revival in traditional Irish music. The tune that James Morrison played on his 1936 Columbia recording was learned from the accordion player in his band, Tom Cormody, who subsequently learned the tune from his father in County Kerry as "The Stick Across the Hob."
Michael Coleman’s classic 1927 recording included a tune known to him as "Kerrigan’s Jig," probably a reference to County Longford piper and, later, NYC pub owner Tom Kerrigan. The tune appears as “Tear the Callies” in the collection of George Petrie (1789-1866), which is nearly identical to tune titled “The Spring Well” published in 'O’Neill’s Music of Ireland: The1850' in 1903.
