Irish Washerwoman (Jig) - Charles-Thomas Clarke - Kensington Gardens, Central London

Track HIStory:
The Irish Washerwoman is a traditional Irish jig whose melody is familiar to many people in Ireland, the British Isles, and North America. It repeats its refrain several times, sometimes by gradually increasing in tempo until being played very fast before coming to a sudden stop. The tune has lyrics, but is typically rendered as an instrumental. It is one of the melodies played when Scottish highland dancers dance a Scottish dance to the tune of an Irish jig.
The song was arranged for the Boston Pops Orchestra by the American composer Leroy Anderson in 1947, and has featured in the repertoire of the Dutch violinist and composer, André Rieu, conductor of the Johann Strauss Orchestra.
