Highway to Kilkenny

Welcome to the Highway to Kilkenny Page!

"Highway to Kilkenny" is a lively and bouncy slip jig that’s perfect for getting your fingers and bow in sync. With its 9/8 time signature, this tune has that signature skip that makes slip jigs so fun to play. The melody is full of energy and movement, and once you get the rhythm down, you’ll be tapping your feet as you play.
This slip jig is great for fiddlers of all levels. Beginners can focus on nailing that 9/8 rhythm and smooth bowing, while more advanced players can have fun with ornamentations, dynamics, and speed. It’s one of those tunes that has a lot of charm, and once you get into it, you’ll want to play it again and again!
