Hey guys, hope you enjoy my version of the famous 'Butterfly' slipjig. This tune is credited to fiddler Tommy Potts (1912-1988), who knew the first two parts of the tune from his father, John, an Uilleann piper. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh has said that Potts was working in his garden one day when he noticed the erratic flight of a butterfly flitting about. Intrigued, Potts tried to mimic the rhythm of the insect while he continued to work in the garden, and was inspired to come up with a third part for the tune. The two existing parts were altered rhythmically to fit.
If you're interested in learning this tune, then make sure to head over to my Patreon for the full video tutorial, sheet music arrangement and downloadable audio, available this Friday at 9am!!!🎶
