'Blarney Pilgrim' is a lively Irish jig that's great fun to play. It's well-known and loved and is played across the world in pubs, on stage and at Irish music sessions. It is a great jig for beginners and experts alike.

History: This jig’s title refers to those who visit The Blarney Stone, a piece of limestone built into the walls of Blarney Castle, near Cork, Ireland. Kissing the stone is said to endow the kisser with great eloquence. According to legend, Cormac Laidir MacCarthy (the builder of Blarney Castle), appealed to the Irish goddess Clíodhna for assistance with a lawsuit. She told MacCarthy to kiss the first stone he saw on his way to the courthouse, which he did. MacCarthy then plead his case with great eloquence and won. Thus, The Blarney Stone is said to impart the ability to deceive without offending. More recently, in the film ‘Titanic’, ‘The Blarney Pilgrim’ is performed by the band, Gaelic Storm.
