Irish fiddle tune on viola – The Kid on the Mountain [slipjig]

Here's a traditional slipjig played on the viola, while sitting on a slightly hilly bit next to my local peat bog. So, rather inaccurately, not on a mountain, but since I'm not a goat either I guess it doesn't matter very much.

This version is transposed down a fifth from the usual key, so it's comfortable to play on the viola. You can get the PDF sheet music for this version in Volume 2 of my books of traditional tunes for viola, which you can find at: https://www.folkviola.co.uk/tradition...

**NEW: sheet music with bowing and ornament suggestions for this tune is now available at: https://payhip.com/b/Nfl9T **

** For a video that shows a close-up of my hands playing the tune slowly, with and without ornaments, you can subscribe to my "close-up learning videos" membership : https://payhip.com/b/NHAw9 **
