IRISH WASHERWOMAN, GALWAY BAY, GARRY OWEN and LONDONDERRY AIR Many different choices could be made from the wealth of Irish folk and popular music. Nevertheless, the ‘Irish Jig’, with its strong connection with the tradition of Irish dancing, really chooses itself. The Irish Washerwoman and Garry Owen are both well-known and are written in the typical compound metre. The other two tunes have both become extremely well known in the world at large. Londonderry air also became very known as “Danny Boy†and Galway Bay by Dr Arthur Colahan was recorded by Bing Crosby and subsequently by Irish groups like The Dubliners and The Clancy Brothers.
