About this tune
Better known to some players as "The Humours of Corofin," this D-major double jig was first recorded under the "Rose in the Heather" title in New York in 1929, by melodeon player Peter J. Conlon and fiddler James Morrison on Columbia 33318-F. It reached print two decades later in Jerry O'Brien's Accordion Instructor (1949) and has stayed a common session jig since, recorded by players from Denis Murphy to Frankie Gavin.
