NEW IRISH JIG. English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title has no discernible relationship with the tune (which appears to be unique to Vickers' collection), being neither in 6/8 time, nor Irish in character.

Source for notated version: William Vickers' 1770 music manuscript collection [1] (Northumberland) [Seattle].

Printed sources: Seattle (Great Northern/William Vickers), 1987, Part 3; No. 574.
