I’ve recently learned this Single Jig and really like it, particularly all the triplets at the end of the 2nd part.
Any suggestions for a single jig to follow Pat Ward’s? I already play “Ask my father” before it. Ideally I’d like to follow it with another single jig in D. Any suggestions.
Whatever it is Peej it’ll have to have more trippeletheses!

If Dmix is an option, The Cauliflower is da bomb. I’m playing it in a set with another Canon Goodman jig in G followd by another called Peter Lee’s (also a D-ish (dorian?) single jig, IIRC - I can’t remember when I’m not playing them!) and they’re working very nicely. Of course, they’d work even better if someone else was playing them, but I do what I can.
In the Comhaltas archive there’s a recording of Séamus playing the Lisheen, a slide, with Ask My Father. You might try The Weaver’s, another slide, after Pat Ward’s. Both are Scottish tunes that wound up in the Irish tradition as single jigs or slides. At least I think they’re Scottish; I know in older Irish sources they were titled Highland Bonnet and the Highlander’s Kneebuckle, which certainly sound Caledonian.
Anyway, single jigs like these match up well with slides. Tunes like Smash the Windows and Off She Goes don’t; they’re the other form of single jig. It’s a bit like how you have slip jigs - Drops of Brandy - and hop jigs - Top it Off - both in 9/8, but you play the latter a good deal faster than the former.
Try the “Dusty Miller”

Slides!! Why didn’t I think of that. Denis Murphy’s Slide is one I like. I’ll see how that goes with Pat Ward’s. A piper and a fiddler!!
The Dusty Miller - a great tune. I’ve heard a recording of it somewhere where the piper adds a 3rd part which was really just the first part but played in the 2nd octave - but it really worked. It might have been Gay McKeon.
The Cauliflower is a nice tune. I’ll see how it works with Pat Ward’s.
Thanks for the suggestions. They should keep me busy until the turkey is well disgested (i.e. until June or July).
I like to play it as 3rd tune in a set:
The Walls of Liscarroll
Ward’s
Na Ceannabhainn Bhana (the Little Fair Canavans)
