Coleraine

Coleraine is a town in County Derry, in Northern Ireland. The jig's earliest known printing is in Kerr's Merry Melodies from the 1880s, in a section of Irish jigs, but it does not turn up in Irish collections again until the 1970s.

It lived on in North America instead. It became a New England contra dance standard, spread by hammered dulcimer player Bill Spence and his band Fennig's All Stars, and it probably travelled back across the Atlantic from there.
